And for this possible conclusion to be \"conclusive\", we need a set of older, smarter parents to produce some kids for comparison. Err, any volunteers?

sorry, Off topic.
perhaps can ask many existing GEP parents here to collect data - at what age did you give birth to your GEP child ? any mother gave birth, say - past 35 to 45 yrs old range ?
i think if mother is around 38, considered … gao lin can fu ? because when go NUH Fertility clinic, was told by gynaecologist & Test tube baby medical consultants … that quality of the egg deterioriates, as a mother age. Doctor advised that best quality egg from a mother is at her prime, aged around 17 - 28. Doctor also mentioned that not just mother, but Father’s contribution also important, Father’s age also plays a part. -

What defines 'smart'? Must hold doctorate? Then my friend disqualified. Both husband and wife are diploma holders. -

My friend's ds1 in GEP, ds2 didn't clear round 1.
Among my siblings, middle child is the smartest.
I guess hypothesis doesn't hold then
