rs731236
VDRrs731236 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the VDR gene. Genespiral reads it in the Personality analysis to describe Sensory Processing Sensitivity.

An rsID such as rs731236 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 GG, AG, AA. 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.
Sensory Processing Sensitivity
Emotional Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Associated with sensory processing functions and responses to environmental stimuli.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| GG | Higher sensitivity |
| AG | Moderate sensitivity |
| AA | Lower sensitivity |
- Summary
- VDR gene variations may influence sensitivity to sensory input, such as sounds and textures.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with 'GG' may experience heightened sensitivity to environmental changes or stimuli.
- Lifestyle tips
- Practicing relaxation techniques can help manage sensory sensitivity.
