1. It allows correction of genetic defect in embryonic stage only
2. The gene is inserted into cells and tissues to treat a disease
3. Delivery of a normal gene into cell takes over the function of and compensate for the non-functional gene
4. As a step towards gene therapy to treat ADA deficiency, ADAcDNA is introduced into cultured lymphocytes of the patient and subsequently returned to him/her.
