Protein replacement therapy is a medical treatment that supplements or replaces a protein in patients in whom that particular protein is deficient or absent.[1][2] There have been significant advances in this treatment. PRT is being tested in clinical trials with the diseases progeria and epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica as a potential treatment. For patients with epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica there have been promising results. [3][4]
