Warrior Gene SNPs

[Oneeye]

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]:
