It has been suggested that mito-nuclear interactions may potentially be harmful to individuals conceived through mitochondrial replacemet therapy (MRT). In my talk I will consider this problem from an evolutionary perspective. I will argue that deleterious mito-nuclear interactions, though they may exist, are unlikely to be more common amongst individuals born to MRT than normal conception. I will present evidence from model organsisms which supports this conjecture.
