UK scientists create healthy babies using DNA from three people to prevent mitochondrial diseases.
Scientists in the UK have created healthy babies using DNA from three people to prevent mitochondrial diseases.
This innovative IVF technique uses a donor's healthy mitochondrial DNA to replace faulty DNA from the mother, which can cause severe genetic diseases.
Eight babies have been born without these diseases, and the method is legal in the UK and Australia but not in the US.
The donor's genetic contribution is minimal, less than 1% of the child's total DNA.
