Hiding in plain sight, new research shines a spotlight on the placenta’s critical role in the nature versus nurture debate and how it confers risk for schizophrenia and likely other neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD, autism, and Tourette…

What I write is certainly not a definitive answer Kyle Macland. Rather just a clue…
ReplyDeleteWomen inherit two X chromosomes from their parents. In their cells, one or the other copy of the chromosome is switched on and used. If genes from one parent are somehow defective, or “misaligned” with the rest of the genome – the feminine body has the option of using a second copy of the chromosome X. The body of a man does not have that possibility. Men inherit only one X chromosome – always after their mother. Very few genes are located on the male Y chromosome. Therefore, the cells of the male body have only one copy of the X chromosome. They must, for all their action, use this one copy of the genes located on the X chromosome. If anything is broken, or does not fit to rest of the genomic “orchestra”, then one may encounter problems…
Today we already know that this way the man inherits, after his mother – for example colorblind or male homosexual orientation. Other links, with the X chromosome genes, or other genes that are dependent on them, may be identified in the future. Maybe genes related to placenta are on the way?
