Sex and Gender Differences in Risk, Pathophysiology and Complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2016, background): “However, sex differences in regulatory mechanisms of genes could be the key element in explaining sexual dimorphism, leading to variations in phenotype through gene-environment interactions (194).”
The Genetics of Asthma and Allergic Disease: A 21st Century Perspective (2011, background): “Modifiers of risk that have been reported in the literature include genetics (discussed below), race ⁄ ethnicity (90), sex (91), passive (92–96) and active (97–99) tobacco smoke exposure, farm animals and related products (100–104), domestic cats”
The genetics of quantitative traits: challenges and prospects (2009, background): “Finally, many QTLs have different effects in males and females, even if they are not X-linked and are not subject to dosage compensatio”
