Biological context of Paternal Age

 

Associations of Paternal Age with chemical compounds

  • There was a considerable variation for the indications advanced paternal age, amniocentesis for AFP or DNA, parental anxiety, a previous child with a congenital anomaly, abnormal maternal serum markers, and exposure to radiation/chemotherapy [8].
 

Gene context of Paternal Age

  • The authors' findings that sporadic cases were associated with advanced paternal age and that they all had mutations in FGFR2 are consistent with previous reports [9].
  • All molecularly characterized autosomal dominant HGP cases described so far result from de novo LMNA mutations, mostly originating on the paternal allele and are often linked with advanced paternal age [10].
  • Increased paternal age was associated with AD PSD but only in men [11].
  • Interestingly, a significant increase of mean paternal age (38.8 years, mean controls in France = 29.1 years, P less than 0.001) was found in this form of RP, a feature which is suggestive of new mutations [12].
  • RESULTS: Having 3 or more younger siblings, compared with none, produced an adjusted odds ratio (OR) for MS (with 95% confidence interval) of 0.80 (0.70-0.92) (adjusting for number of siblings, twins, maternal and paternal age, parental MS, sex, father's social class, county and year of birth) [13].
