Across the globe, men generally stand taller than women. While nutrition and hormones play roles, genetics significantly contribute to this disparity. Recent studies highlight the SHOX gene's pivotal role in determining height differences between sexes. The SHOX (short-stature homeobox) gene resides on both the X and Y chromosomes. It plays a crucial role in bone growth and development. In males, who possess one X and one Y chromosome, the SHOX gene is active on both, promoting greater height.
