In the past few years, the genetic field has achieved a fast pace in clinical research and trials. The research and various studies have indicated the future of human genotype to emerge as the new genetic world from the present nascent one. Gene therapy is the replacement of a defective gene with a normal gene constituent. Several methods for this have emerged and many more are evolving. Genetic involvement in the association of life on earth was found more than a century ago, but its implication in the medical field has been possible just a few years earlier. Still, gene therapy is in its very nascent stage and various experiments are going on. Availability of gene therapy for mass population with feasibility and safety can be made by the medical fraternity keeping patients till the time when research and trials in the genetic field will approve for it. This review will help in understanding the recent gene therapy trials which indicate the forthcoming era of the human genome and their applicability in overcoming the hurdles in treatments of various genetic disorders. The study concluded that gene therapy is not only helpful for the treatment of genetic disorders but also as an adjuvant for other regimens like chemotherapy for cancers etc. Therefore, a close watch on ongoing research and trials in the genetic field in search of better options for treating various disorders in human beings is necessary.
