Greetings,

I was looking at the Gene Therapy page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy) and was wondering if we really should include siRNA and mRNA on the gene therapy page. Do they really constitute gene therapy? These do use genetic material, but their effects are transient whereas all prior definitions viewed gene therapy as the introduction of some change in the genes, i.e., permanent changes. One of the great goals of gene therapy was to treat rare heritable disorders. Most influential definitions still contain only the permanent type of changes.

A serious concern here is the conflation of altering the genes / genome of the cells with transient changes that do not change the genes.

My suggestion would be to remove these (siRNA and mRNA) and place them under some other page and rubric to distinguish them from gene therapy that results in changes to the genome.

 * siRNA and mRNA certainly consistute gene therapies, as do DNA therapies which are also not lifelong. CRISPR technologies and gene editors are also a subcategory of gene therapy, since they perform permanent edits. Nanogenomic (talk) 20:56, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
