簡介This is a research to analyze the genetic correlation between Gender Atypical Behavior (GAB) and same-sex sexual orientation. The existence of genetic effects on GAB in childhood and sexual orientation in adulthood and the overlap between these effects were studied in a population-based sample of 3,261 Finnish twins aged 33–43 years. Quantitative genetic analyses showed that variation in both childhood gender atypical behavior and adult sexual orientation was partly due to genetics, with the rest being explained by nonshared environmental effects.
