Targeted gene therapies, however, had to wait for (1) the identification of the
genes to
target, (2) the cloning and / or sequencing of the
relevant genes and in some cases, the specific disease - causing variant, (3) a full understanding of the normal
gene function and regulation, and (4) the development of efficient ways to deliver
genes to the
relevant tissues at therapeutic levels.
