A Greek mother praises a new fertility treatment which made it possible for her to give birth to a 3-DNA baby
The Greek mother of the first baby born using DNA from three people on Friday praised the revolutionary technique that helped her conceive – and thanked the mystery woman who donated her egg.
A team of Greek and Spanish doctors helped her give birth to a baby boy using a new IVF technique they call the Maternal Spindle Transfer method, at the Institute of Life, in Athens. A similar DNA-switching technique was used in Mexico in 2016 to avoid transmission of a mother's hereditary illness to her child.
Karavokyri said she had made four unsuccessful attempts at IVF fertilisation when they were offered the new technique.And the new technique meant she could keep her genetic material."We finally managed to become parents and acquire a healthy and biological child, thanks to a great scientific advancement that will enable many women to have the child they tried for with IVF treatments for so long and who think they cannot succeed," she said.
