To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 7 April 2014,
Official Report, column 42W, on in vitro fertilisation, if he will provide specific
references to the available evidence that no genomic DNA is found in the mitochondria
but only in the cell nucleus; how their consideration that mitochondrial DNA is not
part of the genome relates to the presentation of data on the human genome in the
ENSEMBL and OMIM databases; what precise genetic modifications are applied to the
eggs or embryos that would prevent any nuclear DNA from the egg or embryo donors from
being inherited by the resulting child; and if he will make a statement.
