Genes don't treat gender the same: New UCLA study raises idea of sex-specific drugs (LEE BOWMAN, , July 8, 2006, SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE)

Genetic differences between men and women hardly end at the X and Y chromosomes.

A new study by researchers at UCLA has determined that thousands of human genes behave differently in the corresponding organs of males and females -- even in fat and muscle tissue.

The findings help explain why the same disease often affects men and women differently, and why the effects of some drugs may vary drastically between the sexes.
