(bottom) Genomic sequencing of gendered J’naii, comparative. | (bottom) Genomic sequencing of gendered J’naii, comparative. | ||
While some differences were found among the smallest, most-gender-diverse group, these differences were primarily epigenetic (occurring after birth) and may be confounded by a number of other factors, including genetic engineering during gestation and/or gene therapies as adults. Due to the inconsistent nature of these results, no strong conclusions could be drawn from them regarding a genetic component to non-binary gender identities. This is an area we recommend for further study in the future. | While some differences were found among the smallest, most-gender-diverse group, these differences were primarily epigenetic (occurring after birth) and may be confounded by a number of other factors, including genetic engineering during gestation and/or gene therapies as adults.
