Gene Therapy

I'm plotting my July BFF fic and I need to know more about gene therapy or gene splicing or similar but I'm a historian, not a scientist!  Can anyone point me to understandable information about how genes work and don't work please?  And what happens if they go wrong?

It's all in relation to the gene therapy Carson Beckett designs in Stargate Atlantis.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you.
