The ability to study the molecular and genetic basis of disease with an increasingly wide and sophisticated armoury of techniques will lead to enhanced understanding of the causes of disease, and so to the progression of gene‐directed therapy. The challenge ahead is in refining these therapeutic techniques to provide efficient and safe delivery of genetic material or gene‐silencing agents.
