The control group of men was characterized by higher indices of aggressiveness (physical and verbal aggression, negativism, and suspiciousness) than women were. Women, irrespective of age and whether they participated in sports, exhibited a relationship between 5-HTT gene variants and the displaced ...

Human aggression/impulsivity-related traits have a complex background that is greatly influenced by genetic and non-genetic factors. The relationship between aggression and anxiety is regulated by highly conserved brain regions including amygdala, which controls neural circuits triggering defensive, aggressive...
many life-threatening. There is an increasing realization from recent research thatgenetic factorsare involved in conferring susceptibility/resistance to most such infections. If all individuals in a population were to be genetically the same, then in the event of an outbreak of a new infection, it...
This means that, in theory, a continued selection for winners of social contests could unfavourably impact these traits, by means of their genetic correlations with factors that cause social dominance via, for example, pleiotropic effects. To date, all genetic correlations between social dominance ...
The central goal of the Breast Cancer Behavioral Center is to further our understanding of the impact of biobehavioral factors on genetic aspects of breast cancer in African-American women. The Center has three aims: (1) To support an integrated, interdisciplinary, Program of Research consisting of...
In this study, the positive correlation in Landrace pigs could suggest that their social partners might have stimulated a greater ADG. Moreover, in addition to being influenced by environmental factors, this results indicate that SGE contribute to the additive genetic component together with DGE. ...
In the longer term, an increased knowledge ofgenetic risk factorsfor prostate cancer could help with developing effective targeted treatments for the disease. Additional information to guide treatment decisions Prostate cancer usually develops slowly, and it often does not pose an immediate threat to a...
The genetic sex-determination system explains 24% of interspecific variation in ASRs in amphibians and 36% in reptiles. We consider several genetic factors that could contribute to this pattern, including meiotic drive and sex-linked deleterious mutations, but further work is needed to quantify their...
