A genomewide scan of male sexual orientation
@article{Mustanski2004AGS, title={A genomewide scan of male sexual orientation}, author={Brian S. Mustanski and Michael G. DuPree and C. Nievergelt and S. Bocklandt and N. Schork and Dean H. Hamer}, journal={Human Genetics}, year={2004}, volume={116}, pages={272-278} }
This is the first report of a full genome scan of sexual orientation in men. A sample of 456 individuals from 146 families with two or more gay brothers was genotyped with 403 microsatellite markers at 10-cM intervals. Given that previously reported evidence of maternal loading of transmission of sexual orientation could indicate epigenetic factors acting on autosomal genes, maximum likelihood estimations (mlod) scores were calculated separated for maternal, paternal, and combined transmission… CONTINUE READING
