The first two sentences of the introduction to this study are telling: "Sexual interest in children resembles sexual gender orientation in terms of early onset and stability across the life span. Although a genetic component to sexual interest in children seems possible, no research has addressed this question to date."
It goes on to describe their approach, which consists of a survey of twins. No mention is made of DNA sampling.
To read more than the summary involves registering which I am not prepared to do and probably don't qualify anyway.
Google Scholar is pretty neat btw, didn't know about it before.
