No SNP directly translates to the 2-4R versions mentioned above, but some SNPs somewhat correlate with these versions. This depends on groups of SNPs that are looked at and a person’s gender.
You can check some SNPs in your DNA test results by looking for:
Rs909525
Rs909525(MAOAGene), considered to be the best proxy for the number of repeats of the MAOA warrior gene [10].
Limited studies suggest the following associations:
T= “non-Warrior” version (“TT” or just “T” in men)C= “Warrior” version.
People with “T” are more likely to have the 4 or 5R non-Warrior version and people with “C” are more likely to have the 3R Warrior version.
On the other hand, only men with the T allele had higher rates of suicide compared to controls (70.5% vs 54%) in one study. This finding hasn’t been replicated [11].
Rs2064070
Males with rs909525 (C), rs6323 (G) andrs2064070(A) had higher scores on the scale measuring the expression of anger outwards [11]. Females with TT allele reported higher “spontaneous aggression” [11].
Rs6323
Rs6323(MAOA R297R Gene)– The G or GG allele was linked with higher levels of the enzyme, while the T allele indicated lower levels (T is the ‘risk’ allele). In females, the G allele was associated with higher outward anger (p = 0.002) and the G allele was also associated with aggression in males [11].
In one study, the T allele was linked with generalizedanxietydisorder [11].
In another small study, women with TT reported higher levels of “angry temperament” and female suicide attempters with TT reported higher “self-aggression” [11].
Rs6609257
One SNP variation inrs6609257was associated with low visuospatial working memory and was considered to be predictive of maladaptive behavior like aggression [12].
Specifically, the A allele of rs6609257 is associated with more MAO-A and higher levels of working memory and the G allele is associated with lower levels [12]:
