PREFACE
In recent years much enthusiasm and energy has been directed toward the
development of human gene therapies, especially for inherited conditions and
cancers. However, current gene transfer technology is limited in its
transduction efficiency and ability to permanently and safely correct genomic
defects. Thus, the promise of gene therapy for these conditions is as yet
unrealized. The progression of gene transfer technology will eventually
surmount these limitations.
As our understanding of disease processes has grown it has become apparent
that protein loss and/or dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of
many acute, acquired medical conditions. Gene therapy offers the possibility
of restoration (or improvement) of protein function via gene overexpression
in these conditions. Gene transfer also offers the potential for gain-of
function via expression of genes not otherwise present in a particular cell or
organ. Most notably, acute conditions do not require permanent genetic
correction. Thus gene transfer represents a highly efficient intracellular
pharmaceutical delivery system that may be better suited for acute, acquired
conditions than heritable conditions. However, like heritable conditions,
current limitations of gene transfer technology have slowed the clinical
application of gene therapy for acute disorders.
Included in this assemblage are selected examples of ongoing studies in
molecular genetics that have the potential to evolve into human therapies for
acute illnesses. The chapters included are intended to highlight lesser known
applications of gene therapy for acquired disorders. It is expected that human
gene therapy trials for these conditions will be forthcoming in the near future
leading to previously unimaginable therapies. Thus this first-ever book about
gene therapy for acute and acquired diseases is intended to serve as a glimpse
into our future.
