We might think perfect pitch is an innate talent. Well, a study in the American Journal of Human Genetics is providing some evidence for that. Perfect pitch, aka absolute pitch, is the rare ability to name or recreate musical notes like A or middle C without using any comparable reference. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, studied the results from an online test taken by over ten thousand people. Not surprisingly, individuals tended to either have perfect pitch or not. But in a closer study of 73 families researchers found a region of genes on chromosome eight in those with perfect pitch and also they happened to be from European ancestry. More study is needed to actually zero in on just which gene or multiple genes might be responsible.
