Sex differences in genetic determinants of craniofacial variations--a study based on twin kinships.

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae - 1 Jan 1998

Sharma K

Abstract excerpt

Race, sex, nutritional status and cultural factors affect craniofacial morphogenesis. Out of these, sex is a major factor in craniofacial differentiation, because it can be stronger in one ethnic group and weaker in another. In this study, sex differences in genetic variance and heritability of 13 craniofacial traits are investigated. The study is based on a sample of 45 MZ and 101 DZ twin pairs and their 125...
