The dna represents a collection of genes that are passed on to a baby during conception.
Donor egg baby dna.
Incredible news and it also sounds a little too good to be true.
But the scientists did discover a way in which women who conceive using donor eggs may affect the activity of their child s genes from the earliest stages of pregnancy onwards.
Hot on our radar is the study coming out of spain claiming that mothers carrying donor eggs still pass on a type of their dna called microrna.
Dna in the human cells is responsible for the way various features are inherited.
The dna games and donor eggs will the baby look like me.
The resounding answer is yes.
Because the baby s dna will only come from the egg donor and the sperm provider many women using egg donationworry that they will not share any genetic information with their child.
The research team based in spain and the usa studied molecules called micrornas 1.
In the procedure the grouped together dna from a mother s egg was removed and placed inside a donor egg from another woman which had been emptied of its dna.
Do birth mothers using donor eggs have a significant impact on the development and future health of their babies.
Their job is to fine tune the activity levels of genes during development and throughout life.
As the name suggests micrornas are short sections of rna a chemical relative of dna.
