Harmful DNA Changes in Sperm Rise with Age, Study Finds
Scientists uncover age-related rise in harmful sperm mutations Groundbreaking research published in Nature reveals that harmful genetic changes in sperm become more common as men age. The study, conducted by the Wellcome Sanger Institute in collaboration with the TwinsUK cohort at King’s College London, shows a clear, genome-wide increase in disease-causing mutations in sperm cells…

Harmful DNA changes in sperm rise with age, study finds
New findings reveal how paternal age affects sperm DNA A landmark study published in Nature shows that harmful genetic changes in sperm become substantially more common as men age. Using ultra-accurate DNA sequencing, researchers mapped how bias in sperm production can favor mutations that may be passed on to future generations, overturning assumptions that the…
