Gene Therapy means the introduction of a gene into a person for therapeutic purposes (i) by in vivo introduction for incorporation into cells of such person, or (ii) by ex vivo introduction into cells for transfer into a person.
Gene Therapy means any technique for delivering functional genes to replace aberrant ones into living cells by means of a genetically modified vector or by physical means in order to genetically alter the living cell;
Gene Therapy means a product or service for the treatment or prevention of a disease that utilizes ex vivo or in vivo delivery (via viral or nonviral gene transfer methods or systems) of Genetic Material, including any cell incorporating Genetic Material.

More Definitions of Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy means a Medically Necessary nonexperimental technique approved by the Food and Drug Administration that uses human genes to treat or prevent disease in humans that involves introducing human DNA, which contains a functioning gene to correct the effects of a disease-causing mutation, into an individual to replace or correct the effects of a disease-causing mutation. Non-human gene therapy does not constitute Gene Therapy.
Gene Therapy means any product that mediates its effects by transcription or translation of transferred genetic material or by integrating into the host genome and that are administered as nucleic acids, viruses, or genetically engineered microorganisms.
Gene Therapy means the treatment or prevention of a disease by means of [*].
Gene Therapy means treatment or prevention of MPS I or other alpha-L-iduronidase deficiencies by means of ex vivo or in vivo introduction (via viral or nonviral gene transfer systems) of nucleotide sequences (including without limitation, DNA, RNA and complementary and reverse complementary nucleotide sequences thereto, whether coding or non-coding).
Gene Therapy. A treatment involving the administration of genetic material to modify or manipulate the expression of a gene or to alter the biological properties of living cells for therapeutic use.
Gene Therapy means the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of a human being with: (a) one or more oligonucleotides or nucleotide sequences, in native form or chemically modified, which are introduced into the body in free form, bound to a carrier molecule, contained in any molecular vesicle (e.g. a liposome), incorporated into or attached to a vector of any type, contained in any cellular construct and/or contained in any mechanical device or (b) cells which have been manipulated EX VIVO using one or more oligonucleotides or nucleotide sequences.
Gene Therapy means the use of a vector containing at least one DNA sequence that encodes at least one protein, in order to restore the functional activity of one or more resident non-functional gene copies, or provide for the introduction and expression of novel protein(s) not normally expressed in the cell type or expression of protein(s) that do not exist normally in nature. The introduced protein(s) are not intended to generate a prophylactic and/or therapeutic immune response against the protein encoded by the introduced DNA sequence of interest for use in Vaccination.
