A linkage between DNA markers on the X chromosome and male sexual orientation.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 16 Jul 1993

Abstract excerpt

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...
