First UK baby with DNA from three people born after new IVF procedure (5 minute read)

Doctors in the UK have successfully performed an IVF procedure resulting in a child born with DNA from three people. The treatment, called mitochondrial donation treatment, involves taking healthy tissue from the eggs of female donors whose DNA is free from harmful mutations that predispose the mother to inheritable diseases. The material is used to create an embryo that has DNA from both biological parents as well as around 37 genes from the donor's egg. More than 99.8% of the offspring's DNA still comes from the biological parents.
