Is CAG sequence length in the androgen receptor gene correlated with finger-length ratio?
چکیده انگلیسی

Manning, Bundred, Newton, and Flanagan reported a significant correlation of .29 in a sample of 50 British males between the length of a repeated sequence on the androgen receptor gene and 2D:4D finger-length ratio on the right hand. We report a 2nd failure to replicate this result. Ours was a sample of 182 Australian male twins studied for other purposes, for whom both measures were available. The result was a nonsignificant correlation of −.055. A similar result was obtained for female twins, and for comparisons within sibling pairs. Correlations are also reported for left hands and right–left differences––the last showed a weak tendency toward replication.
