Gene augmentation or addition - in situations where a gene is faulty, a normal working version can be introduced to take over its functions.

Gene augmentation therapy
This is appropriate for the treatment of inherited disorders caused by the loss of a functional gene product. The aim is to add a functional copy of the lost gene back into the genome and express it at sufficient levels to replace the missing protein. It is only suitable if the pathogenic effects of the disease are reversible.
