A baby has been born using three people’s DNA for the first time in the UK, said the fertility regulator. Most of the baby’s DNA comes from their two parents and around 0.1% from a third, donor woman.

The world’s first baby created from DNA from three parents was born in Mexico in 2016, reported Sky News.
