Genetic considerations in human sex-mate selection: partners share human leukocyte antigen but not short-tandem-repeat identity markers.

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) - 1 May 2014

Israeli Moshe, Kristt Don, Nardi Yuval, Klein Tirza

Abstract excerpt

PROBLEM: Previous studies support a role for MHC on mating preference, yet it remains unsettled as to whether mating occurs preferentially between individuals sharing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) determinants or not. Investigating sex-mate preferences in the contemporary Israeli population is of further curiosity being a population with distinct genetic characteristics, where multifaceted cultural considerations...
