Paternal age effect mutations and selfish spermatogonial selection: causes and consequences for human disease.

American journal of human genetics - 10 Feb 2012

Goriely Anne, Wilkie Andrew O M

Abstract excerpt

Advanced paternal age has been associated with an increased risk for spontaneous congenital disorders and common complex diseases (such as some cancers, schizophrenia, and autism), but the mechanisms that mediate this effect have been poorly understood. A small group of disorders, including Apert syndrome (caused by FGFR2 mutations), achondroplasia, and thanatophoric dysplasia (FGFR3), and Costello syndrome...
