Andrew Oliver Mungo Wilkie (born 14 September 1959)[3] is a British clinical geneticist who has been the Nuffield professor of Pathology at the University of Oxford since 2003.

He identified the gene mutation responsible for Apert syndrome and the molecular pathways underlying this and other craniosynostosis conditions.

Over time, sperm-generating cells carrying such mutations become prevalent, explaining why some conditions are more common in children born to older fathers.

[4] Wilkie demonstrated that the Ras molecular pathway, the common factor in paternal age effect conditions, is also important in the development of nerves and tumours.
