Older fathers are more likely to pass on new mutations to their offspring than older mothers, researchers from Iceland reported in the journal Nature today. They added that this could partly explain why a higher percentage of children today are born with an autism spectrum disorder, went on to be diagnosed with schizophrenia, or other potentially h ...
