No, donated eggs contain the DNA of the donor. The fact that it is later fertilized in the laboratory and transferred to the recipient's uterus does not modify the original genetic code of the egg. The embryo, therefore, contains the donor's genetic material.
The resounding answer is yes. Because the baby's DNA will only come from the egg donor and the sperm provider, many women using donor eggs worry that they will not share any genetic information with their child.

AnswerWill my child get any of my DNA if I donate eggs?
It was previously believed that the fertilised egg used to make the embryo only had DNA from the father and donor mother. Researchers have found that infertile women who are forced to use donor eggs do still pass their own DNA to their child .
Does the baby’s DNA come from the egg donor or sperm provider?
Oct 16, 2017 · 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. Incredible news, and it also sounds a little too good to be true. So we did some poking around in peer-reviewed archives to check the validity of this claim.
How can I Donate my Eggs?
It is true that when using a donor egg, the baby will inherit DNA from the egg donor and the sperm and not the recipient mother, but heritability is more complicated than that. For DNA to function it has to receive instructions, just like computer hardware has to receive instructions from the software program.
How many eggs can be retrieved from a donor?
Nov 02, 2015 · 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. The research team, based in Spain and the USA, studied molecules called microRNAs (1). As the name suggests, microRNAs are short sections of RNA, a chemical relative of DNA. …

Genetic Inheritance of Appearance and Donor Eggs
Each baby’s physical composition is determined by genetics. When couples use a donor egg, the genes of the egg donor and egg recipient’s partner combine and establish some undeniable traits.
Which traits are inherited from the egg (oocyte) donor?
The baby’s basic genetic code is inherited from the egg donor and the egg recipient’s partner. This means that everything from eye colour to adult height to blood type is determined their genes. However, this does not mean that the baby’s eye colour will be a combination of simple dominant/recessive elements of the egg donor and egg recipient.
Which traits are inherited from the egg recipient and her partner?
The egg recipient’s partner is responsible for 50% of the baby’s genetic code, but what role does the egg recipient play in the baby’s appearance and development? While the baby does not directly receive DNA coding from the egg recipient, recent studies suggest that the recipient’s DNA does influence how the baby develops.
