许多脊椎动物在解剖、生理和行为特征上的两性二态性。在人类中,两性二态现象也见于许多常见疾病的流行、病程和严重程度,包括心血管疾病、自身免疫性疾病和哮喘。尽管内分泌和免疫系统的性别差异可能促成了这些观察结果,但最近的研究表明,性别特异性遗传结构也影响人类表型,包括生殖、生理和疾病特征。潜在的机制可能是男性和女性的差异基因调控,特别是在性类固醇反应基因中。在设计和解释中忽视性别特异性影响的遗传研究可能无法确定很大一部分导致复杂疾病风险的基因。
Sexual dimorphism in anatomical, physiological, and behavioural traits characterize many vertebrate species. In humans, sexual dimorphism is also observed in the prevalence, course, and severity of many common diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and asthma. Although sex differences in the endocrine and immune systems probably contribute to these observations, recent studies suggest that sex-specific genetic architecture also influences human phenotypes, including reproductive, physiological, and disease traits. It is likely that an underlying mechanism is differential gene regulation in males and females, particularly in sex steroid responsive genes. Genetic studies that ignore sex-specific effects in their design and interpretation could fail to identify a significant proportion of the genes that contribute to risk for complex diseases.
