ILAR Journal Volume 50(2): Gene Therapy in Large Animal Models of Human Genetic Diseases

Gene Therapy in Large Animal Models of Human Genetic Diseases. "The structure and function of most genes in animals are homologous to those in humans, thus many genetic diseases that occur in humans also occur in animals. Gene mutations usually cause similar biochemical dysfunctions, resulting in pathologic changes at the molecular, cellular, organ, and organism levels. For these reasons, the knowledge gained through research in animals can be of direct benefit to human as well as animal health." Issue editor: John H. Wolfe
