rs3796863
CD38rs3796863 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CD38 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Personality analysis to describe Tendency to Anthropomorphize.

An rsID such as rs3796863 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.
Tendency to Anthropomorphize
Behavioral Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Associated with social cognition, influencing how likely one is to attribute human characteristics to objects or animals.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| AA | Higher tendency |
| AG | Moderate tendency |
| GG | Lower tendency |
- Summary
- CD38 gene variations can impact the tendency to perceive non-human entities as having human-like qualities.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with 'AA' may be more inclined to view objects, animals, or concepts in human terms.
- Lifestyle tips
- Understanding and observing interactions with pets or technology can help manage anthropomorphism.
