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.

WASSINK AND PIVEN SAY THAT THE FATHER'S AGE IS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS FINDING



Joeseph Piven Father's age irrelevant

"Because the mutation is identical in the two siblings, it is likely that it occurred during germ-line development and so paternal age is unlikely to be relevant."


WHAT WAS THE FATHER'S AGE? NO ANSWER

University of Iowa researchers have found a genetic mutation that contributes to a brain disorder that inhibits a person's ability to communicate and develop social relationships. Dr. Thomas Wassink says the finding involving autism was part of a larger study of families which have children with the disorder.

Wassink says there was one family where they found "a piece of a chromosome missing in the middle of a really interesting gene, in two girls with autism from this family."

Wassink says they did further study to narrow down the gene mutation. Wassink says, "At some point in the embryonic development of the father, an abnormality occurred or a mutation arose in his primordial sperm cell." Wassink says the discovery of the mutation led to more research. He says the screened the gene, called "neurexin one," for mutations in about 400 other individuals with autism, but didn't find any additional mutations of the gene in people with autism. Wassink says it appears the mutations in the gene in this particular family are not a very common cause of autism.

Wassink says the exciting thing is that this is one of a groups of genes where mutations have been found in the proteins in the synapse that send messages between nerve cells. Wassink says this tells researchers that other genes and proteins in might be related to autism.

Wassink says having a clue about where to look for the problem is important. He says there are well over 10,000 genes in the brain, and finding the right ones to look at is not easy. Wassink says this finding helps them look at a more specific set of genes. Wassink says the finding could eventually help with treatments for autism.

Wassink says it may indicate different types of medications to try in treating autism. Wassink, who is an associate professor of psychiatry, says this study does not show any link to an earlier study that indicated that the chances for autism increased with the age of the father. Wassink says age is not a factor in this finding.
