Book excerpt: During the past eight years following initial gene therapy experiments, more than 200 clinical protocols have been submitted worldwide and more than 2000 patients have been treated. Although a lot remains to be accomplished before gene therapy becomes a standard medical practice, enough information has accumulated to justify a textbook on the subject. Some of the procedures and products are expected to enter the marketplace and medical practice by the year 2000. The public is very much aware of the potential of gene therapy and the medical profession should prepare itself for the new developments by learning about the basics and applications of these techniques. Much of there-search has been conducted in the bio-pharmaceutical industry by gene therapy companies and the commercial opportunities for gene therapy are enormous.
