answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2015 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to assess these particular studies. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HEFA) convened Expert Panel gave detailed consideration to mito-nuclear interactions, as outlined from page 30 onwards of the report of its third review, which can be found on the HFEA’s website at:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.hfea.gov.uk/docs/Third_Mitochondrial_replacement_scientific_review.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.hfea.gov.uk/docs/Third_Mitochondrial_replacement_scientific_review.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Expert Panel considered the risk of mismatch between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes to be very low. Even this extremely low risk could be avoided in mitochondrial donation treatment by matching the patient’s mitochondrial DNA haplogroup to that of the donor. Given that mitochondrial DNA does not affect physical or personal characteristics, and the risk of mito-nuclear mismatch is very low, mitochondrial donation techniques are not considered to have any effect on the characteristics of children born as a result of these techniques.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 23/02/2015 16:56:24 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
