Making a three point embryo

• One out of every 6500 babies in UK are thought facing the mitochondrial disorder, which can lead to heart and liver diseases, breathing issues and many other problems. To overcome this, three parent IVF would be a choice..

• With this law the removal of mitochondrial DNA is possible from an embryo or egg. The possibility for the disorder free baby is more with this technique.

• In this process the “power house” cells of the body which acts like a battery for the cell are inherited from the mother, so the proposed IVF treatment wouldn’t pass the mitochondrial disease to the baby.

• Mitochondrial DNA is separate from the DNA found in the cell nucleus and doesn’t affect the characteristics like eye colour, hair and the personality.
