Hello! I am interested in the process of Pronuclear transfer (mitochondrial donation) and would like to know more about its features. Where can I find reliable information about how this process works, what are the requirements for the donor and recipient, as well as the possible risks and benefits of this procedure? Also, can you recommend clinics or organizations that offer mitochondrial donation services and have a good reputation? Thank you for your help!

Pronuclear transfer, also known as mitochondrial donation, is an advanced reproductive technique designed to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial diseases from mother to child. For more information on this topic, you can visit https://nccconline.org/directions/mitochondrial-donation guide on mitochondrial donation. This procedure involves transferring the nuclear DNA from a fertilized egg (embryo) into a donor egg that has had its nuclear DNA removed but retains healthy mitochondria. By doing so, the resulting embryo benefits from the donor egg’s healthy mitochondria, potentially preventing genetic disorders linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. This technique helps ensure that the child inherits a full set of nuclear genes from the parents and healthy mitochondria from the donor.
