Eight healthy babies have recently been used in the UK to use DNA from three people through the in vitro (IVF) to inherit serious genetic mutations, but it can take several years for these procedures to be allowed according to Ireland’s law.
Amazing science development has been made for several years.
This procedure is performed when the mother is known to have a gene mutation in the mitochondrial DNA, the power plant of the cells that make up human tissues. Mother’s eggs are artificially modified by their father’s sperm, and the heretry of this embryos is extracted and transferred to the eggs of donors without mitochondrial mutations.
The majority of DNA are the number of mothers and fathers, and donors provide less than 10 % of the gene code of the embryo. Nevertheless, it is possible to provide hope to families around the world.
Dr. Jane Farrar of the Trinity College Genetics Department rarely appears in mutation of mitochondria, but it appears in serious health problems from birth. Born with this mutant often suffers from young age, heart and muscle failure and developmental delays. Dr. Farrar says there is a range of mitochondrial diseases with the spectrum of symptoms.
When Leber Haireditary, neuropathy (LHON) may suddenly lead to loss of vision of both eyes. Dr. Para says that this is a disease disease and often happens in young adulthood. Leigh’s syndrome, on the other hand, is a disorder characterized by the gradual and gradual loss of muscle use and brain function. She says she is clear in infancy and infancy.
Eight healthy babies in the UK were born after about 20 years of genetic and medical research, and in 2015, the change in law was allowed to perform this procedure. Even though the British church and other religious leaders questioned ethics, the British parliament passed it by two -thirds.
Ireland’s IVF Clinic cannot carry out this procedure according to the law. The Ministry of Health calls it “relatively new and complex auxiliary human reproductive technology.” A department spokesman said, “Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) ACT 2024 said,“ Establish a regulatory framework for reproductive clinics and guarantee consistency, supervision and ethical standards for the treatment of AHR (AHR). For it. ”
NISIG (National Infertility Support and Information Group) said, “As part of this law, we are working to establish regulatory authorities for the treatment of assisted human Reproduction (IHR) in Ireland, but this study in the UK is another behind Ireland behind Ireland Emphasize how far away from the nations.
They said the government’s regulatory framework said, “It includes the authority to enable the use of embryo transplantation.
Dr. John Watersstone, who graduated from the Trinity College Genetics Department, is the founder and director of Watersstone Clinic, one of the largest IVF providers in Ireland. He admits the “very experimental” characteristics of the procedure, but “It’s amazing that they have done it. It’s amazing for them.”
He said that promoting the genetic variation of the embryo is “ethically suspicious”, but he added, “This is for couples who found themselves in tragic situations.
Watestone Clinic provides a genetic test before transplantation of embryos, and discovers whether parents are unconsciously delivering genetic mutations that can cause their children’s serious health. But Dr. Watersstone said that the procedure in England would not soon come to Ireland.
“I don’t think everyone in Irish who has been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease will be treated here. It’s more practical to go to England,” he says. Given the rare rareness of this mutation, he said, “One in 5,000 people can have mitochondrial diseases.”
