                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Obviously there are no definite conclusions drawn about this yet, but it's more than apparent that BOTH genotype and exposure to music (namely, before age 6-ish) contribute to whether or not an individual has perfect pitch.  A person doesn't need to have William's syndrome to have perfect pitch, but it sure seems to help.<br><br>What we can say about it is that scientists are starting to narrow down which genetic area(s) help to contribute to a person's ability to distinguish tonality.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[You need way, way more information to make any sensible suggestions or theories regarding this. Since perfect pitch is generally not tested with young infants it is impossible to tell whether the actual genetic differences cause the increased chance of perfect pitch, or whether the genetic differences lead to different environmental factors which then in turn increase the chance of developing perfect pitch. Maybe even both the genetic difference and the increased chance of perfect pitch are both caused by a similar, yet currently unknown, factor.<br><br>Or in short: you can't say nothing yet about it.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I was in bio class the other day an we were going over genetics.  We went over some disorders caused by genetic problems, and got onto the topic of Williams Syndrome.  Apparently people with Williams syndrome have a MUCH higher occurence of perfect pitch than that of "normal" people who don't have it. Being a genetic disorder, does this mean that they've found the gene (or allele) responsible for perfect pitch?<br><br>This may not be "breaking news" but it's news to me!!  Has anyone heard of this before?<br><br>A couple of relevent articles....<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_syndrome">Williams Syndrome</a>...and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_pitch">Perfect Pitch</a>]]></content:encoded>
