This is because any egg donation or collection processes necessary for mitochondrial donation would be carried out at HFEA licensed fertility clinics in line with the guidance outlined in the HFEA Code of Practice. Mitochondrial donation raises no new issues in respect of OHSS as the women who may donate eggs will be subject to the same protocols as those donating to fertility treatment.</p><p> </p> more like this

question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health, Jane Ellison, on 1 September (HC Deb, cols 119–122), how many of the mitochondrial diseases listed in Annex D of the consultation document entitled "Mitochondrial Donation" are included in the Human DNA Polymerase Gamma Mutation Database maintained by the National Institutes of Health in the USA; and what assessment they have made of the causal relationship between mutations affecting DNA Polymerase Gamma and disease-associated mitochondrial DNA mutations. more like this

answer text <p>The mitochondrial diseases listed in Annex D of the “<em>Mitochondrial Donation</em>” consultation document are diseases caused by an inherited mutation in mitochondrial DNA that results in faulty mitochondria. In contrast, the mitochondrial diseases listed in the Human DNA Polymerase Gamma Mutation Database are secondary disorders whereby faulty mitochondria arise from a nuclear gene defect. As such the primary mitochondrial DNA diseases listed in Annex D are distinct from those diseases listed in the Human DNA Polymerase Gamma Database, caused by a nuclear gene mutation.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The proposed mitochondrial donation techniques would only be used for patients that have inherited mitochondrial DNA mutations and could not be used for those diseases in which faulty mitochondria arise from a nuclear gene mutation, as this mutation would still be inherited by the resulting child from the parents nuclear DNA.</p><p> </p> more like this

question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 23 January 2013 (HL4388), whether the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority still considers that multiple pregnancy poses "the single greatest health risk associated with fertility treatment"; what records they hold on foetal reduction in the first trimester and early in the second trimester; what assessment they have made of the impact of such procedures on the incidence of complications otherwise associated with multiple pregnancy; and what was the average mortality rate of (1) singleton, (2) twin, and (3) triplet, pregnancies in the United Kingdom over each year of the past decade for which records are available. more like this

answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that it and all of the relevant professional bodies support the <em>One at a time</em> initiative, which aims to reduce the incidence of multiple births following in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). The consensus statement signed in 2011 states that “Multiple births is the single biggest risk to the health and welfare of children born following fertility treatment”:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.oneatatime.org.uk/images/2011-05_Multiple_Births_Consensus_Statement_-_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">www.oneatatime.org.uk/images/2011-05_Multiple_Births_Consensus_Statement_-_FINAL.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The HFEA holds records on foetal reductions carried out in the first trimester and early in the second trimester following each cycle of IVF or donor insemination in the UK.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>When developing its policy on multiple births the HFEA commissioned an Expert Group on Multiple Births after IVF, which concluded that the prevention of multiple pregnancies through single embryo transfer should be preferred to multifetal pregnancy reduction.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>Information on average mortality rates for singleton, twin and triplet pregnancies is not collected centrally.
