WHEN WILL THE PUBLIC LEARN THAT PATERNAL AGE IS A ROBUST CAUSE OF AUTISM?

WHO WILL INFORM THE PUBLIC?

READ THE ARTICLES AND ABTRACTS IN THIS BLOG FOR THE EVIDENCE THAT DE NOVO NON-FAMILIAL AUTISM RISK RISES WITH PATERNAL AGE. THE OLDER THE FATHER THE HIGHER THE RISK. FAMILY HISTORY OF MENTAL DISORDERS, AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS RAISES THE RISK. MATERNAL GRANDFATHER'S AGE AT MOTHER'S BIRTH IS KEY IN DE NOVO AUTISM ESPECIALLY FRAGILE X

"All genetic illnesses have their origin in a distant or recent mutation. Paternal age is an important determinant of mutation frequency in new germ cell mutation, causing both autosomal dominant and X-linked recessive illnesses. The role of other mutagenic factors is not the subject of this study. The results of my own research are supported by other information which indicates that the leading cause of genetic illness present in human populations is the ageing process in the male. Conceiving children by men younger than 35 years of age would prevent many genetic illnesses in future generations." Leslie B. Raschka M.D. "The Age of the Father and the Health of Future Generations"
