An rsID such as rs10808555 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 TT, CT, CC. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so CT 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.

Emotional Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Involved in monoamine transport affecting emotional depth, introspection, and potentially spiritual inclination.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| TT | Higher inclination |
| CT | Moderate inclination |
| CC | Lower inclination |
- Summary
- Variations in the VMAT2 gene may influence tendencies toward spirituality or a search for meaning.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with 'TT' may experience a stronger connection to spiritual or philosophical beliefs.
- Lifestyle tips
- Exploring mindfulness and meditation practices can enhance spiritual inclinations.
