  • Genome-Wide Linkage Study Meta-Analysis of Male Sexual Orientation

    Open AccessAlan R Sanders, Gary W Beecham et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2021Cited by: 1References: 21

    Male sexual orientation is a scientifically and socially important trait shown by family and twin studies to be influenced by environmental and complex genetic factors. Individual genome-wide linkage studies (GWLS) have been conducted, but not jointly analyzed. Two main datasets account for > 90% of the published GWLS concordant sibling pairs on the trait and are jointly analyzed here: MGSOSO (Molecular Genetic Study of Sexual Orientation; 409 co…

  • Covariance structure of neuroticism and agreeableness

    Kerry L Jang, W John Livesley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2001Cited by: 5

    The Revised NEO Personality Inventory domains of Neuroticism and Agreeableness are considered factorially distinct despite several intercorrelations between these domains. The genetic correlation, an index of the degree to which these intercorrelations are caused by genetic influences, was estimated using data from 913 monozygotic and 562 dizygotic volunteer twin pairs from Canada, Germany, and Japan. The serotonin transporter gene, 5-HTTLPR, was…

  • Association of Anxiety-Related Traits with a Polymorphism in the Serotonin Transporter Gene Regulatory Region

    Open AccessKlaus-Peter Lesch, Dietmar Bengel et al.ARTICLEScience1996

    Transporter-facilitated uptake of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) has been implicated in anxiety in humans and animal models and is the site of action of widely used uptake-inhibiting antidepressant and antianxiety drugs. Human 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) gene transcription is modulated by a common polymorphism in its upstream regulatory region. The short variant of the polymorphism reduces the transcriptional efficiency of the 5-HTT gene pr…

  • A Linkage Between DNA Markers on the X Chromosome and Male Sexual Orientation

    Open AccessDean H Hamer, Stella Hu et al.ARTICLEScience1993

    The role of genetics in male sexual orientation was investigated by pedigree and linkage analyses on 114 families of homosexual men. Increased rates of same-sex orientation were found in the maternal uncles and male cousins of these subjects, but not in their fathers or paternal relatives, suggesting the possibility of sex-linked transmission in a portion of the population. DNA linkage analysis of a selected group of 40 families in which there we…
