Diagram of Polar body 2 transfer in in-vitro fertilization

Transfer of Polar body 2 happens at the Pronuclear stage of Zygote.

• Create an zygote using the parents’ sperm and eggs .
• At the same time, a donor Zygote is created using a donor egg with healthy mitochondria and the father’s (or donor) sperm.
• The Polar body 2 are removed from the patient zygote. The leftover enucleated zygote with diseased mitochondria is discarded.
• The maternal nuclear of the donor zygote are removed and discarded.
• The patient’s Polar body 2 can be placed into the donor zygote for development.
• The developed embryo will then be transferred into the mother.
