For example we found women with DNA variants for postponing parenthood also have bits of DNA code associated with later onset of menstruation and later menopause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018One day it may be possible to use this information so doctors can answer the important question: \u2018How late can you wait?\u2019 based on the DNA variants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018It\u2019s important to put this into perspective, however, as having a child still strongly depends on many social and environmental factors that will always play a bigger role in whether or when we have babies.\u2019 The researchers said \u2018an improved understanding of the function of these genes may provide new insights for infertility treatments.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They pooled 62 sets of data with information from 238,064 men and women for age at first birth and almost 330,000 men and women for the number of children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Until now reproductive behaviour was thought to be mainly linked to personal choices or social circumstances and environmental factors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But the study published in Nature Genetics shows mutations can explain a biological basis for reproductive behaviour. Variants linked with the age at which people have their firstborn are also associated with other characteristics reflecting reproduction and sexual development. These include when girls have their first period, when the voice breaks in boys and at what stage women experience their menopause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Study co-author Dr Nicola Barban said: \u2018Our genes don\u2019t determine our behaviour but for the first time we\u2019ve identified parts of the DNA code that influence it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018This is another small piece to understanding this very large jigsaw puzzle.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The researchers calculated variants in the 12 areas of the DNA together predict less than one per cent of the timing at which men and women have their first child &#8211; and of the number of children they have in the course of their lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-636fbd93d3b2d4cd\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Scientists say these genes are coming into their own for women in our society who are increasingly delaying motherhood due to work and education commitments.

Stock image<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They can also predict around 0.2 per cent of the variability of the number of children we will have in the course of our lifetime using a combined score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But while these numbers seem \u2018extremely small\u2019 their modelling shows in some cases when the mutations are combined they can be used to predict the probability of women remaining childless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Importantly by examining the function of the 12 DNA regions in detail the researchers identified 24 genes likely to be responsible for the effects on reproductive behaviour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Some were already known to influence infertility while others have not yet been studied. Human reproductive behaviour is defined by age at first birth (AFB) and number of children ever born (NEB).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the UK and other western countries first-time parents are considerably older than decades before &#8211; which in turn has consequences for the number of children they can have and their reproductive health. Since the 1970s there has been a rapid postponement by around four to six years in the age at first birth from women having their first child at around 24 years in 1970 to 29 in 2012.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There has also been significant increases in the levels of childlessness with around 20 to 25 per cent of women born from 1965 to 1969 in Southern and Western European countries having no children. The biological ability to conceive a child starts to steeply decline for some women as of age 25 &#8211; with almost half being sterile by the age of 40.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This means a growing number of women start to have their first and subsequent children exactly at the time that their ability to conceive starts to decrease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>            <!-- NOTE: WARNING: render-partial is a function --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mol-fe-rotator-header channel-header\"> <span class=\"mol-fe-rotator-header-body\"> <span class=\"title\"> <span>Most watched<\/span> <span>News videos<\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/h2>\n<ul class=\"items-holder cleared\">\n<li class=\"mol-fe-rotator-item news\">  <span class=\"thumb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2016\/10\/31\/13\/39E9795400000578-0-image-m-7_1477918996522.jpg\" \/><\/span> <span class=\"colours-target description-wrapper\"> <span class=\"description\">Shocking moment lorry driver using his mobile kills family<\/span> <\/span> <span class=\"colours-target description-mask\"><\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"mol-fe-rotator-item news\">  <span class=\"thumb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2016\/10\/31\/16\/39EBC04400000578-0-image-m-3_1477932714054.jpg\" \/><\/span> <span class=\"colours-target description-wrapper\"> <span class=\"description\">Shocking!
