New research reveals that genetic mutations in men's sperm, which can lead to diseases in offspring, increase with age due to evolutionary selection within the testes. Scientists used advanced sequencing to analyze sperm from 81 men aged 24 to 75, finding that harmful mutations affect 2 percent of sperm in early 30s men but rise to 4.5 percent in 70-year-olds. The findings, published October 8 in Nature, highlight risks for future generations.
