rs362584

SLC6A4

rs362584 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the SLC6A4 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Personality analysis to describe Neuroticism.

An rsID such as rs362584 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.

Summary
SLC6A4 gene variants influence serotonin reuptake, affecting susceptibility to stress and anxiety.
Scientific insights
The 'AA' genotype may lead to a heightened response to stressful situations.
Lifestyle tips
Mindfulness practices can help manage neurotic tendencies and improve emotional resilience.
