Scientists have found genes that regulate puberty in women

Through a micro-genetic study in women, a group of scientists found the gene segments involved in puberty in women and their relevance to some diseases.

Mankind seems to be taking a step closer to understanding the mysteries of puberty in women. By studying the genetic variation of more than 180,000 European-based women, a team of researchers has identified DNA groups that contribute to puberty in women. Scientists say this finding is important because it relates to our understanding of Type 2 diabetes and breast cancer because the "puberty" period is related to these diseases.

"We identified more than 100 regions of the genome related to puberty," said John Perry, the head of the research group (a study published in the journal Nature) and is also a teacher. Genetic professor at Cambridge University said in an email sent to technology site The Verge. He added the possibility of having thousands of gene variants related to biotransformation, which suggests that the process of puberty in women is more complicated than the original thought of scientists.

The genes involved in this process have been marked in mothers and found they are more likely to reappear in children, meaning that genetic factors from mothers also have a strong impact on puberty in girls. Scientists also agreed on the idea that after puberty, these genes continue to play a role in human health and disease.

Perry also noted that the study has yet to help answer all the mysteries associated with this biological process in women because there are still many genes related to puberty that have yet to be discovered. Moreover, the database they studied only comes from European women. In the future, Perry wants to expand his research into other cultures such as Asia and Africa . for more accurate conclusions.

Moreover, genes are not the determinants of all the puberty in women, it only contributes 50%, the remaining 50% comes from nourishing environments. This means that environmental factors such as nutrition, family atmosphere, physical activity . are also factors that greatly affect women's puberty.

However, the study also found a very important problem that early puberty women have a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. From this result, scientists will find ways to prevent or eliminate the risk of acquiring these diseases in women in the future.
