Breast Size

8K3712

Breast size is a visible, variable trait shaped by fat distribution, glandular tissue, and hormonal signaling — changing naturally through puberty, pregnancy, and weight fluctuation. Research shows that variations near genes involved in estrogen signaling, tissue development, and fat distribution (like ZNF703, ESR1, a...
