The researchers, from North Shore University Health System's Research Institute, in Illinois, US, also discovered differences in the TSHR gene, which is linked to the thyroid, another area which has previously been associated with sexual orientation.
美国伊利诺伊州北岸大学卫生系统研究学院的研究人员还发现了TSHR基因中的差别,这种基因与甲状腺有关,而之前的研究发现甲状腺也影响性取向。
"Because sexuality is an essential part of human life – for individuals and society – it is important to understand the development and expression of human sexual orientation," said lead author Dr Alan Sanders.
该研究的第一作者艾伦·桑德斯说:“由于性行为是人类生活必不可少的一部分,理解人类性取向的发展和表达很重要。”
"The goal of this study was to search for genetic underpinnings of male sexual orientation, and thus ultimately increase our knowledge of biological mechanisms underlying sexual orientation."
“这项研究的目的是寻找男性性取向的基因基础,从而最终提高我们对性取向的生物学机制的认识。”
"What we have accomplished is a first step for genome wide study on the trait, and we hope that subsequent larger studies will further illuminate its genetic contributions."
“我们已经完成了这个特性全基因组研究的第一步,我们希望后续的更大规模的研究将进一步阐明其基因作用。”
