Genes are found in every cell of the body. Therefore, for the correction to be effective, scientists must find a way to reach every single cell. This is an enormous challenge for gene therapy, an experimental procedure that is attempted only in serious genetic diseases caused by a single defective gene, such as cystic fibrosis. In contrast, the variations screened for by GeneWize are fairly common in the general population, and their presence does not mean you will definitely become ill. It would thus be both impractical and inappropriate to attempt to physically 'correct' these commonly occurring variations - even if the technology existed to make this possible. GeneWize is not involved in researching gene therapy, and we do not offer treatment of any kind. Rather, we provide advice that takes into account the presence of genetic variations. Our service allows you to maintain good health by customizing a nutritional supplement regimen tailored to your unique genetic profile.
