Scientists have shown that there are widespread differences in how genes- the basic building blocks of the human body- are expressed in men and women's brains.
A Complete Description of Gene Expression in the Human Retina Reported By Researchers
The most thorough description of gene expression in the human retina reported to date was published by investigators at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School.

Among the many results, the researchers specifically looked at the gene NRXN3, which has been implicated in autism. The gene is transcribed into two major forms and the study results show that although one form is expressed similarly in both men and women, the other is produced at lower levels in women in the area of the brain called the thalamus.
Overall, the study suggested that there is a sex-bias in the way that genes are expressed and regulated, leading to different functionality and differences in susceptibility to brain diseases observed by neurologists and psychiatrists.
Gene Expressions And Molecular Development
A study shed new light on molecular tools our cells use to govern regulated gene expression. The study was led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.

"Our study provides the most complete information so far on how the sexes differ in terms of how their genes are expressed in the brain."
Changes in Gene Expression Associated With 'Pouchitis' After Ulcerative Colitis Surgery
A study in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases says that pouchitis after surgery for ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with changes in gene expression.

DNA Changes During Pregnancy may Interfere With Gene Expression During Childhood
Even before babies are born, they accumulate changes in their DNA through a process called DNA methylation that may interfere with gene expression and in turn, their health as they grow up.
