Random news from the Archive Child with three parents 29.09.2016 The world's first child to be conceived using a new technology involving the DNA of three people was born in Mexico. A five-month-old boy has the usual DNA from mom and dad, as well as some genetic code from a donor. The child's parents are from Jordan. The procedure itself was carried out by a group of experts from the United States. The boy's mother has Lay's syndrome, a disease that affects the human central nervous system. At the same time, the woman herself is healthy, but due to a genetic mutation, her two children have already died at a very early age. Experts note that the birth of a child "from three parents" opens a new era in medicine and can help other families with rare genetic diseases. But they warn that rigorous testing of this new and controversial technique is needed.
