Gene therapy is the technique of genetic engineering to replace a faulty gene by a normal healthy functional gene. It is a way of treating genetic disease by introducing a piece of $\text{DNA}$ into the cells of an affected individual. Liposomes can be used for gene therapy as they target the cells affected by a genetic disease.
What feature of a cell surface membrane allows the liposome to target cells affected by a genetic disease?

- Germ-line gene therapy to replace both $\text{ADA}$ gene copies.
- Somatic cell gene therapy to replace both $\text{ADA}$ gene copies in circulating lymphocytes.
