Germline transmission of donor, maternal and paternal mtDNA in primates

Hong Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that the long-term effects of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) in monkeys showed no significant differences in growth, general health, and fertility compared to controls. While some monkeys showed increased levels of maternal or paternal mtDNA contributions in certain tissues and organs, overall, MRT did not cause adverse effects and was compatible with normal postnatal development in nonhuman primates. More clinical trials are needed to fully assess the safety and effectiveness of MRT in humans.

Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction for Assessment of Mutant Mitochondrial Carry-over after Nuclear Transfer for In Vitro Fertilization

Olivier Tytgat et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that digital PCR is a reliable tool for quantifying mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy, showing good concordance with next-generation sequencing strategies and high accuracy in detecting minor alleles with mutation loads below 1%. This alternative technique offers multiple benefits compared to NGS, including less hands-on time, more straightforward data analysis, and lower up-front capital investment.

Genetic factors as potential molecular markers of human oocyte and embryo quality

Qing Sang et al.

Summary: This review outlines the genetic determinants of abnormalities in human oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development, identifying 16 genes that may cause oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, and embryonic lethality. These genetic markers lay the foundation for individualized genetic counseling and potential treatments in reproductive medicine.
