On today's episode of "Your life is completely determined by genetics and there's nothing you can do about it" we read about Rs4680, the incel gene.
rs4680(A) = Worrier. Met, more exploratory, lower COMT enzymatic activity, therefore higher dopamine levels; lower pain threshold, enhanced vulnerability to stress, yet also more efficient at processing information under most conditions
rs4680(G) = Warrior. Val, less exploratory, higher COMT enzymatic activity, therefore lower dopamine levels; higher pain threshold, better stress resiliency, albeit with a modest reduction in executive cognition performance under most conditions
Worse handling of stress or pain. Researchers found when viewing unpleasant pictures, the startle response of women with AA was about six times stronger compared to those with only one A or none at all. (R)
Anxiety: Studies have correlated AA allele with OCD, panic disorder, phobic anxiety. (R, R2)
Lower emotional resilience/more negative emotions/less able to handle negative events well.
More depression - but the relationship is complex. (R)
Less Extroverted (R)
