In a revolutionary study, scientists discovered 30 new genes that control the age at which puberty occurs in women. It is also known that many of these genes affect the control of body weight (metabolism), reports The Times of India.

Sexual maturity begins when a child approaches a certain age. The heavier the child, the earlier the growth takes place, possibly influencing the development of diseases in the future. This is sure scientists from the Department of Twin Studies at King's College in London.

In addition, they identified genes involved in the regulation of the hormonal background, the development of cells and other mechanisms associated with the onset of the first menstruation.

According to Massimo Mangino, this discovery shows how closely all processes in the body are closely related, including sexual maturation. Professor Tim Spector of the Twin Studies Department states: "The development of women is largely due to weight. In view of the fact that twins have the same body weight and puberty, we can talk about the genetic basis of this phenomenon ".
