In the UK, the world's first babies were born with a set of DNA not from two, but from three parents, reports “Argumenty i Fakty” with reference to The Guardian newspaper.

The first child with DNA from three people was born within the framework of an IVF procedure carried out to combat hereditary incurable diseases.

In the embryo for the future IVF procedure, which has genetic material from the father and mother, a mitochondrion from a donor cell from a third party was also implanted. The combination of the genetic material of three people at once will permit such children to avoid problems with the inheritance of incurable diseases in the future.
