In a breakthrough revelation, it has been revealed that men who become father at late age pass on such mutations to their children that the latter are exposed to suffer from autism and schizophrenia.

The study, which is said to be one of its kinds, has been published in the journal Nature and was being taken out by a group of researchers from the University of Michigan.

Lead researchers of the study Augustine Kong and Kari Stefansson were of the view that in order to reach at the above given result, the study researchers assessed the mutations at the time of conception. After assessing the same, it was revealed that men, who become father at late age goes through harmful genetic changes, which is passed on to children.

Study researchers were of the view that the study findings have revealed that it is very important for a better health of child that men should become fathers at right age.

"It seems that multifactorial disorders that result from impaired brain function, like autism, schizophrenia, dyslexia and reduced intelligence, are particularly susceptible to the paternal-age effect", said the study researchers.

Experts are quite astonished to know the study findings. They were not expecting that men play such an important role in child's health.
