An rsID such as rs28365031 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 DD, DI, II. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so DI 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 Memory
Memory · Part of the Learning & Cognition analysis
Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor gene influencing emotional memory encoding.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| DD | Enhanced emotional memory |
| DI | Average emotional memory |
| II | Reduced emotional memory |
- Summary
- Variations in the ADRA2B gene can affect how emotional events are remembered.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with the 'Deletion/Deletion' genotype may recall emotional events more vividly.
- Lifestyle tips
- Awareness of emotional memory biases can aid in stress management.
