Autism Risk From Delaying Dads

Despite 55 years of evidence that older fathers and genetic disorders of sperm DNA and imprinting are to blame Dr. Michael Wigler says:


"Older mothers, who are more likely to have autistic children, could fall into this class," notes Wigler. "Such mothers' eggs have had more time to accumulate mutations." This is a bogus statement. Pure bunk.


It is the male germline that in animals, plants and humans mutates with time = Age not the maternal germ line.
