What is Enzyme Replacement Therapy?

Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) is a medical treatment aimed at supplementing deficient or absent enzymes in patients suffering from certain genetic disorders, particularly lysosomal storage diseases like Gaucher's disease and Fabry disease. ERT involves the administration of specific enzymes to correct the underlying metabolic defect, thereby reducing the accumulation of harmful substances in the body.
