    Somatic gene therapy involves transferring a therapeutic gene into non-reproductive cells like bone, blood, and skin cells so the gene is not inherited by later generations, while germ line gene therapy transfers genes into eggs and sperm so any genetic changes would be inherited. Somatic therapy only impacts the individual but germ line therapy could allow genetic changes to be passed down.
