Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of spouse selection with short tandem repeats (STRs) in DNA and with the number of fingertip lunulae to investigate the role of heredity in spouse selection.
METHODS: We randomly selected a total of 286 couples (husband and wife) as a couple group while 200 paired subjects (a man randomly matched with a woman as a pair of subjects) were selected as a non-spouse group for DNA typing, and to investigate lunulae in spouse selection, a total of 554 couples were selected as a couple group and 500 pairs of subjects were selected as a control group.
RESULTS: A significant difference of STR matching number (a large value implies a higher genetic similarity) between spouse group and non-spouse group were observed (12.3 ± 2.7 vs. 11.8 ± 2.6; p < 0.05). A significant difference of the lunula matching number (difference of lunula counts between a paired subjects, a lower value implies a higher genetic similarity) between two groups were also observed for the lunula counts (1.55 ± 1.88 vs. 3.53 ± 2.40; p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Significant and unprecedented relationships were found between the couples and polymorphic STRs, and between spouse selection and lunula counts. Polymorphic STRs and fingertip lunulae counts provide an initial insight into the potentially important contributions that genetic characteristics may play a key role in spouse selection.

摘要：
目的：这项研究的目的是评估配偶选择与DNA中的短串联重复序列（STRs）和指尖脑膜数量的相关性，以研究遗传在配偶选择中的作用。
方法：我们随机选取了286对夫妻（夫妻）作为夫妻组，同时选取了200个配对对象（男性与女性随机配对作为一对对象）作为非配偶组进行DNA分型，并调查择偶中的精神科，共选择554对夫妇作为一对夫妇组，选择500对受试者作为对照组。
结果：观察到配偶组和非配偶组之间的STR匹配数存在显着差异（较大的值意味着更高的遗传相似性）（12.3±2.7vs.11.8±2.6；p<0.05）。Lunula匹配数的显着差异（配对受试者之间的Lunula计数差异，较低的值意味着较高的遗传相似性）也观察到两组之间的肺计数（1.55±1.88与3.53±2.40；p<0.01）。
结论：在夫妇和多态STR之间发现了显着和前所未有的关系，在择偶和脑瘤之间。多态STR和指尖脑膜计数提供了对遗传特征可能在配偶选择中起关键作用的潜在重要贡献的初步见解。
