An rsID such as rs1024611 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of AA, AG, GG. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so AG and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Curiosity
Cognitive Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Involved in the regulation of neurochemicals affecting exploration and novelty-seeking behaviors.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| AA | More curious |
| AG | Moderately curious |
| GG | Less curious |
- Summary
- CCL2 gene variations may influence a natural desire to explore and seek new information.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with 'AA' are often more inclined to seek out new experiences and learn actively.
- Lifestyle tips
- Engaging in diverse activities and continuous learning can foster curiosity.
