Manage episode 495181383 series 5409
Researchers in the UK have published the results of a clinical trial of an IVF technique known as mitochondrial donation.
The technique has been used before, but this latest round provides further evidence of its efficacy and safety.
In Australia, about 60 babies born each year will develop a serious or fatal case of mitochondrial disease. We could be next to trial this IVF technique.
