🚨 A stunning discovery just dropped from Geisinger College — and it’s flipping the script on everything we thought we knew about genetics and height!
Say hello to the real MVP: the SHOX gene (short-stature homeobox).
Here’s the mind-blowing part:
* Men get a full dose of SHOX from their Y chromosome
* But in women, one X chromosome is partially turned off — meaning less SHOX, less height
That tiny Y chromosome boost? It adds **3.1 cm (1.2 inches)** in height alone!
SHOX is now officially responsible for **22.6% of the 13 cm average height gap** between men and women.
But wait — it’s not just about genes. Hormones like testosterone still have a major role in growth spurts.
Why does this matter? Because this gene isn’t just about height — it could be the key to cracking mysteries behind sex-based diseases like **Alzheimer’s**, osteoporosis, and more.
From growth charts to health charts — this breakthrough might change how we treat conditions across the gender spectrum.
Science just got taller. And
a whole lot smarter.
