Age-Induced Changes to Sperm Contribute to Offspring's Disease Risk
Researchers performed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) on 73 sperm samples of males attending a fertility center in Germany. Collectively, their data support the conclusion that age-induced methylation changes in the sperm epigenome contribute to the increased offspring disease susceptibility for neurodevelopmental disorders.
