PGD to reduce reproductive risk: the case of mitochondrial DNA disorders.

Human reproduction (Oxford, England) - 1 Nov 2008

Bredenoord A L, Dondorp W, Pennings G, De Die-Smulders C E M, De Wert G

Abstract excerpt

This paper discusses the pros and cons of introducing PGD for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders such as NARP (Neurogenic muscle weakness, Ataxia, Retinis Pigmentosa)/Leigh, MELAS (Mitochondrial myopathy, Encephalopathy, Lactic acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes), private mtDNA mutations and LHO...
