Thin and muscular have been characterised as body shape ideals for women and men, respectively, yet each sex misperceives what the other sex desires; women exaggerate the thinness that men like and men exaggerate the muscularity that women like. Body shape ideals align with stereotypic perceptions of femininity in women and masculinity in men. The present study investigates whether misperception of opposite-sex desires extends to femininity/masculinity in facial morphology.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how facial masculinity and emotional expressions (happiness and anger) influence women's preferences for male faces, as previous findings have been inconsistent.
  • Results indicated that masculinised faces are perceived as angrier, while feminised faces are seen as happier, affecting women's attractiveness judgments.
  • Notably, women showed a preference for less feminisation in happy faces compared to neutral or angry faces, suggesting that a smiling expression can soften the perceived negative response to masculinity.

Purpose: The terminology used for gene-disease curation and variant annotation to describe inheritance, allelic requirement, and both sequence and functional consequences of a variant is currently not standardized. There is considerable discrepancy in the literature and across clinical variant reporting in the derivation and application of terms. Here, we standardize the terminology for the characterization of disease-gene relationships to facilitate harmonized global curation and to support variant classification within the ACMG/AMP framework.

DECIPHER (atabas of Genomi Varation and henotype in umans Using nsembl esources) shares candidate diagnostic variants and phenotypic data from patients with genetic disorders to facilitate research and improve the diagnosis, management, and therapy of rare diseases. The platform sits at the boundary between genomic research and the clinical community. DECIPHER aims to ensure that the most up-to-date data are made rapidly available within its interpretation interfaces to improve clinical care.
