Question:

Possibilities in avoiding passing along mitochondrial disorders

Author: AMRIT KAUR



Answer:

- It may be possible to avoid passing along mitochondrial disorders​ - The chromosomes from the egg of an affected mother could be transferred to an egg of a healthy donor, generating a “two-mother” egg​ - This egg could then be fertilized by sperm from the prospective father and transplanted to the womb of the prospective mother​
