With utmost precision, scientists said, the older the father the greater the risk of childhood diseases.



Results obtained from the scientific observations, the experts shared with the representatives of the journalistic profession, answering their questions as part of an organized press conference on the subject.

For product of exact calculations of a number of mutational processes that experts have been studied specimens of the family of chimpanzees.
