Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Parents’ age distribution with number of de novo mutations in their offsprings. (a) The distribution of father's ages at conception (in years). (b) The distribution of mother's ages at conception (in years). (c) The distribution of gestational age for the newborns (in weeks). The colours in each bar in the histograms indicate the proportion of newborns with each number of DNMs in each of the five equally sized bins.


Among the set of 693 mother–father–newborn trios, the ages of the fathers at conception ranged from 17 to 63 years, with a mean of 33.4 years. Twenty-four (3.5%) of the fathers were older than 45 years, extending by 18 years the age range for the statistical model from previously reported whole-genome studies2, 3. The ages of the mothers ranged from 17 to 43 years with a mean of 31.2 years. The gestational age of the newborns ranged from 23 to 42 weeks with a mean of 37.2 weeks.
