According to the results of studies carried out by the Californian scientist Joel Rothman with the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, it is the gene that is responsible for the development of various organs within males and vertebrates.

This gene is very important in newborn babies, because when that gene or other gene that is related to it has some defect, the newborn suffers malformations. Therefore, the next task of scientists is to study well the genes of males, since the results obtained will serve to solve the problems of human development.
