Mutations and Fatherhood
Every year, men accumulate approximately two mutations in their sperm DNA, leading to a higher mutation rate in older fathers. These mutations can potentially contribute to neuropsychiatric conditions, with some mutations offering advantages that help certain sperm outcompete others. Interestingly, epigenetic signatures also differ between older and younger fathers, suggesting that age-related factors may influence gene expression and associated risks for offspring.In this clip
