Gene Associated With Pair-Bonding In Animals Has Similar Effects In Human Males
Variation in the gene for one of the receptors for the hormone vasopressin appears to be associated with how human males bond with their partners, according to an international team of researchers. The researchers found that the “334″ allele of a common AVPR1A variation, the human version of avpr1a studied in voles, seemed to have negative effects on men’s relationship with their spouses.
