[Harry Potter] Wizards posses the capability for magic because of the magic gene(s), is it possible to genetically engineer a pure muggle into a wizard?

By “pure muggle” I mean someone who’s lineage is completely separated from wizardkind.

The “(s)” at the end of gene is a huge factor in this. 

If it was one gene that was an extra cellular, free floating blood stream protein (I’m thinking like a magic-conduit protein), the answer is absolutely yes. That’s simple. 

You isolate the gene, over express it in a skin graft, surgically attach the graft, then BAM, you’re a wizard. 

If it is even a little more complicated than that, we don’t have the technology to say whether or not it would possible (though there are scenarios that are still feasible). 

If it’s a lot more complicated, no way. There are some theoretical solutions to that, but if it’s multiple genes that are controlled by multiple pathways, we are not technologically there.
