Eight years after the technology was approved by government authorities, it can be reported that at least one child with DNA from three different people has been born to parents in the United Kingdom.
to have a biological child without fear of passing on mutated mitochondrial genes that could struggle to provide sufficient energy for healthy, growing bodies., but to protect the safety and privacy of all those involved, the cases have been kept private.
"The Newcastle team involved in carrying out the procedures are cautious and will have wanted to include at least some follow-up data on the babies, while also protecting the privacy of the families,"biologist and developmental geneticist Robin Lovell-Badge from the Francis Crick Institute, who was not involved in the cases.
Despite leading the way on the therapy, researchers in the UK were not the first to report bringing a 'three-person' baby into the world. Scientists working in Mexicowas born in Ukraine, and in 2019, another child was born in Greece.

Britain: 1st babies born in country using DNA from 3 peopleBritain’s fertility regulator has confirmed the births of the U.K.'s first babies created using an experimental technique combining DNA from three people. The technique is used to keep children from inheriting rare genetic diseases. Britain’s Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority said Wednesday that fewer than five babies have been born this way in the U.K. The agency didn't provide details to protect the families’ identities. In 2015, the U.K. became the world’s first country to adopt legislation regulating methods to help prevent women with faulty mitochondria — the energy source in a cell — from passing on defects that can cause muscular dystrophy, epilepsy and heart problems.
