Abstract in brief

Music ability is a complex trait influenced by both genetics and environment, with variation seen both among individuals and within different musical skills of the same person.
Advances in genetic research are starting to identify specific genetic locations, such as certain regions on chromosomes 4, 8q, 12q, and 17q, that may be linked to skills like singing, music perception, and absolute pitch.
However, more research with larger and diverse populations is needed to confirm these genetic links and better understand how genes contribute to musical talent.]
