日期20090127
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.

簡介This report presents a careful summary and an up-to-date explanation of research — from the biological, psychological, and social sciences — related to sexual orientation and gender identity. It is offered in the hope that such an exposition can contribute to our capacity as physicians, scientists, and citizens to address health issues faced by LGBT populations within our society.

簡介 As researchers in biology and sociology who are also gay men, we have long wondered (and debated) whether sexual orientation has any biological basis.

 

study published Thursday in Science looked at the DNA and sexual behavior of nearly 500,000 people… Researchers since the 1940s have described sexual orientation as a single trait that exists on a scale, ranging from “exclusively heterosexual” to “exclusively homosexual.” But the new study suggests that sexuality is more diverse than that — many different things, rather than one thing in greater or lesser degrees.

But when the researchers tried to add up the contributions of each DNA variant they examined, they could predict less than 1 percent of the variation among study participants.
