rs6198
NR3C1rs6198 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the NR3C1 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Personality analysis to describe Assertiveness.

An rsID such as rs6198 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 CC, TC, TT. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so TC 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.
Assertiveness
Personality Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Involved in glucocorticoid receptor regulation, influencing stress response and assertiveness.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| CC | Higher assertiveness |
| TC | Moderate assertiveness |
| TT | Lower assertiveness |
- Summary
- NR3C1 variations may impact assertiveness by influencing responses to stress and pressure.
- Scientific insights
- Those with 'CC' may exhibit higher confidence in decision-making and assertiveness.
- Lifestyle tips
- Assertiveness training and setting boundaries can further build assertive behaviors.
