So I was all set to say no - but looked it up online where i found quite a bit of info saying that older men have a greater chance of fathering kids with autism, schizophrenia, and dwarfism. Apparently the dna in the sperm genetically mutates a bit as men age.

I wouldn't think so, but you never know. If the older man and younger women are trying to have a baby, I would think it would be best to have his "boys" tested.
