Editing KCTD13 Gene For Size Increases
This would be a very far fetch scenario, but seeing as Gene editing can be done at home, would it be possible to say that someone is or has looked into this and has tried or going to try it on themselves?
Those who might not know, ( this is a quick run down )
KCTD13 (Potassium Channel Tetramerization Domain Containing 13) is a gene that has been associated with penile size and development. Research has shown that variations in the KCTD13 gene can lead to changes in gene expression, which may influence penile growth and development.
Gene dosage changes in KCTD13 refer to alterations in the number of copies of the KCTD13 gene or changes in its expression levels. These changes can potentially affect penile size and development, although the exact mechanisms are not yet fully understood.
Some studies have suggested that:
- Increased copies of the KCTD13 gene (gene duplication) may lead to increased penile size.
- Decreased copies of the KCTD13 gene (gene deletion) may lead to decreased penile size.
- Changes in KCTD13 gene expression levels may also influence penile development and size.
