Your DNA file reports your genotype at rs4680 — a marker in the COMT gene that studies link to dopamine clearance (val158met). Here's what each genotype is associated with:
| Genotype | What it's associated with |
|---|---|
| GG | Val/Val — faster dopamine clearance; the 'warrior' type in some studies (weak effect). |
| AG | Val/Met — intermediate. |
| AA | Met/Met — slower dopamine clearance; the 'worrier' type; possibly more stress-sensitive (weak effect). |
