Five of the genetic markers were "significantly" associated with same-sex behavior, the researchers said, but even these are far from being predictive of a person's sexual preferences.

"We scanned the entire human genome and found a handful - five to be precise - of locations that are clearly associated with whether a person reports in engaging in same-sex sexual behavior," said Andrea Ganna, a biologist at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in Finland who co-led the research.


no mention of how many displayed the genetic markers yet did not have same-sex behavbior

Okay, that's "five locations".

That's exactly what percentage of the entire genome? And what sort of numbers of locations are associated with specific and at least semi-documented human traits/features?

Show odds like that to a bookie and you'd get laughed out of the joint.

A guy's gotta have SOME standards.
