    It is where men 38 years and older, have a greater probability than younger men of fathering a child with some kind of genetic defect because of new mutations in the father’s reproductive cells.

    • Thanks so much, could it be younger in some men? How, I wonder did they arrive at the age of 38? I hope some day there are affordable ways to test semen for genetic damage.
