Description
Summary:By present time safety problems of gene therapy are widely discussed among scientists of all world. In this review results of clinical researches are summarized; explanations concerning side effects of vectors integration are given; factors that can cause genotoxicity are discussed. Approaches which can save or increase clinical efficacy of gene therapy with use as targets hematopoietic stem cells, thus significantly reduced risk of leukemia development and other side effects related to vectors including in genome, are presented.
