  The genetic makeup of people is significantly influenced by gender, which is also reflected in numerous genetic illnesses, most notably mental retardation. This study investigated its impact on copy number variation, which is known to cause genetic diseases. The olfactory receptor repertoire, which is made up of the biggest gene family in the human genome, was chosen for this study because it was conducted within and between 3 groups made up of 150 participants in the 1000 Genomes Project. The following novel findings were discovered through analysis of 3872 CNVs found among 791 OR loci, of which 307 loci indicated CNV: Both results suggest that gender has played a more recent evolutionary role. Sex bias in CNV was significantly more prevalent in one-copy number loss compared to complete deletion of OR pseudogenes and in uncommon than common CNV variants of OR pseudogenes, in which th..
