Familial digit ratio (2D:4D) associations in a general population sample from Wales.

Early human development - 1 Sept 2017

Richards Gareth, Bellin Wynford, Davies William

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The relative length of the second and fourth fingers (2D:4D) may be a sex-linked correlate of prenatal androgen exposure. However, the nature of the sex-linkage is controversial, with evidence for both X- and Y-linkage of the 2D:4D phenotype. AIMS: To examine transgenerational effects relating to sex-linkage. In addition, assortative mating on 2D:4D was considered, as well as associations between...
