Looking for Beauty in your DNA
It
is mentioned in the Medical News Today journal,
that searching for beauty can be found in one’s DNA. Due to the fact that there
is very little known about the genes that underpin the facial beauty, a recent
study examines and asks the question of, “What is the genetic basis for facial
attractiveness?” A group of researches form the University of Wisconsin-Madison
obtained the same goal of determining whether any genes are allied with facial attractiveness.
Scientist are interested in exploring the genes that are behind the facial
beauty. They discovered that ‘beauty genes” contrast by sex. The genes that are
specifically for regulating lipids and body mass in women are also associated
with genetic variation. As for males, the “beauty” genetic variants were
correlated to the genes that affect the cholesterol levels.
Researchers have been able to
demonstrate how blood cholesterol levels are accompanying to the synthesis of testosterone
and multiple different steroid hormones. By conducting this type of study, an original
comprehension of the genetic basis of facial attractiveness has been provided.
Also, a multifaceted relationship between attractiveness and a diversity of
human traits have been stipulated. Qiongshi Lu, mentions that, “Instead,
attractiveness is most likely associates with a large number of genetic
components with weak effects. Interestingly, sex-specificity is a recurrent
pattern observed in almost all the analyses in ours study.”
