Well to day the story has made front page news in our national press.. (friday)http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml? xml=/news/2005/09/09/ngene109.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/09/09/ixnewstop.html The full press edition is on two pages and is backed by the MDA and other Doctors etc..the MDA say 'The innovative approach being tested by Prof Turnbull may lead to a treatment for mitochondrial myopathies, a group of conditions that dramatically affects the quality and lenght of life... A spokesman for Kings College London says'If the technique works and is safe it will be the answer to the prayers of those people afflicted by these awful mitochondrial genetic disorders for which there is no treatment' I and my family have today been 'celebrating' hope for the future generations in families like ours..
