9. | Father’s age and disease risk of his children | Mutations generate sequence diversity and provide a substrate for selection. The rate of de novo mutations is therefore of major importance to evolution. Genome-wide mutation rates by sequencing the entire genomes of 78 Icelandic parent–offspring trios at high coverage. With an average father’s age of 29.7, the average de novo mutation rate is 12 x 10-9 per nucleotide per generation. |
||
9. | Father’s age and disease risk of his children | Most notably, the diversity in mutation rate of single nucleotide polymorphisms is dominated by the age of the father at conception of the child. The effect is an increase of about two mutations per year. An exponential model estimates paternal mutations doubling every 16.5 years. These observations shed light on the importance of the father’s age on the risk of diseases such as schizophrenia and autism. |
