AUTISM PREVENTION FATHER BABIES 24-34 PATERNAL AGE IS KEY IN NON-FAMILIAL AUTISMVaccines: 'THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE RISK OF A DE NOVO CNV IS RELATED TO THE AGE OF EITHER PARENT"

AUTISM PREVENTION FATHER BABIES 24-34 PATERNAL AGE IS KEY IN NON-FAMILIAL AUTISMVaccines

"It is very possible that PATERNAL AGE is the major predictor of(non-familial) autism." Harry Fisch, M.D., author "The Male Biological Clock". Sperm DNA mutates and autism, schizophrenia bipolar etc. results. What is the connection with autoimmune disorders? Having Type 1 diabetes, SLE,etc. in the family, also if mother had older father. NW Cryobank will not accept a sperm donor past 35th BD to minimize genetic abnormalities.VACCINATIONS also cause autism.

'THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE RISK OF A DE NOVO CNV IS RELATED TO THE AGE OF EITHER PARENT"

~ARTHUR L. BEAUDET

THIS IS INTRIGUING, IS THERE EVIDENCE THAT DE NOVO CNVs ARE NOT RELATED TO AGE?
Scientists are not sure why the copy variations emerge, but it probably has something to do with the shuffling of genetic material that occurs in the production of eggs and sperm; the process is prone to errors.

"De novo point mutations in such genes could explain the advanced paternal age association that has been reported for autism13. There is no evidence, however, that the risk of a de novo CNV is related to the age of either parent."

There are several CNVs are associated with 17 conditions of the nervous system including Parkinsons and Alzheimer's disease. Sebat and Wigler et al. have found them in sporadic autism. Also there are CNVs involved in the genes that are involved with the immune system and in human evolution.
