So much for the days of studying hard to be smart. There are a growing number of studies presenting evidence that our IQ may actually be largely genetic. IQ in adults is almost as heritable as height. Studies have shown that children of the same parents have similar IQ’s, whereas an ad...
male-biased genes evolve more rapidly than female-biased genes [15,16,17,18], suggesting that males experience stronger positive selection than females [4,5], although the genetic architecture of gene expression and other factors might also

macrochirus), yielding coefficients of genetic similarity below the range typifying continuously distributed conspecific populations in other vertebrates, but quite comparable to previous reports for various semispecies pairs. Within several river drainages in South Carolina and Georgia, bluegill populations ...
The aim of this study was to assess if a high PRS for EL is associated with a low prevalence of MetS and its components. This study was undertaken in five population-based independent and varied cohorts, ranging in age from 40 to 93 years with genetic and metabolic data available, with ...
Several factors during the preconception, fetal, and infant periods possess substantial impact on adult obesity, such as gestational weight gain, exposure to diabetes in utero, and genetic variation. Weight, BMI, and obesity status earlier in life are significant predictors risk factors for adult ...
Based on this genetic factor, you can estimate your child's adult height by adding both parents' heights (in inches) together. Add 5 inches for a baby assigned male at birth or subtract 5 inches for a baby assigned female at birth, and then divide that number by two. ...
In the NHS Genomic Medicine Service, and in many cancer centres across the world, whole genome sequencing (WGS) is already routinely available for genetic analysis of tumour samples. Expanding the WGS repertoire to indications that require ctDNA analysis would therefore be feasible. Most technologies...
Burri and colleagues, investigating whether the self-reported G-spot has an underlying genetic basis on a sample of monozygotic and dizygotic female twins, stated that the perception of this area was reported by 56% of the sample, independently of their genetic habits [73]. On these bases, it...
And genetic susceptibility may exist within adipose tissue, in insulin signaling pathways, and in regulation of individual components of MetS. Insulin resistance or hyperinsulinaemia may contribute to obesity- and DM related hypertension and possibly also promote dyslipidaemia in MetS. Obesity, lifestyle...
