And the FDA disagrees with that definition of gene therapy:
"Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a person’s genes to treat or cure disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms:
Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene
Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly
Introducing a new or modified gene into the body to help treat a disease" [1]
Yes there are competing definitions. However the important part of the grandparent remains unchanged. mRNA are extremely unlikely to modify genetic information of your body.
