Three Person Embryos

Three Person Embyo is a form of germline fertility treatment by which an oocyte are formed containing maternal and paternal DNA and donated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This can be with the presence or absence of maternal mtDNA. The purpose of this treatment is to prevent the maternal inheritance of hereditary mitochondrial diseases and treat some forms of infertility caused by mtDNA mutation. It is also referred to as Mitochondrial Donation and Mitochondrial replacement-assisted IVF.
