Research on parent-child dynamics has historically prioritized same-sex dyads, leaving cross-sex relationships, such as father-daughter, underexplored. While prior studies have linked patriarchal-affirming interpersonal sexual script (PA-ISS) messages from fathers to daughters' sexual risk-taking, their role in shaping reproductive decision-making, including age at abortion, remains underexamined. Guided by Simon and Gagnon's Sexual Script Theory, this study investigates the relationship between paternal PA-ISS and egalitarian interpersonal sexual script (E-ISS) messages and the age at which daughters experience abortion. A sample of 37 women assigned female at birth, each raised by their biological father and reporting a personal history of abortion, completed a retrospective online survey. Pearson's correlation and linear regression analyses revealed a significant negative association between PA-ISS messages and daughters' age at abortion ([R.sup.2] = .138, p = .02), indicating that greater exposure to PA-ISS was associated with younger abortion age. E-ISS messages were not significantly associated with abortion timing. These findings suggest that patriarchal sexual messaging may constrain reproductive autonomy and influence the timing of abortion. Results highlight the need for comprehensive sexual education that addresses gendered family-based messaging and supports informed reproductive decision-making as a public health and policy priority.

The aim of this report is to determine frequencies and associations of p53 codon 72 arg/pro polymorphism with different types of cancer in Sudan. p53 codon72 arg/pro polymorphism distribution and allele frequencies in 264 samples of different types of cancers were investigated using PCR. The results were compared to 235 normal controls. The results indicated significant differences in frequency and genotype association between different types of cancers. Breast carcinoma patients most prominently showed excess of homozygous arg genotype as compared to controls with an Odd ratio (OR) of 19.44, 95 %CI: 6.6–78.3, P  < 0.0001. Less prominently cervical cancer showed genotype effect of 2.4 OR, 95 %CI: 1.12–5.33, P  = 0.015, while esophageal cancer had an OR of 0.57, 95 %CI: 0.23–1.42, P  = 0.1. In Burkitt’s lymphoma, however, in contrast the homozygous arg accounted for only 6.9 %, (OR 0.18, 95 %CI: 0.02–0.89, P  = 0.018). We concluded that p53 arg/pro polymorphism has different pattern of frequency in different types of cancer among Sudanese patients, indicating perhaps different etiology and biology of these tumours.
