Así moldea el ADN nuestra forma de ser: más de 1.200 variantes genéticas ayudan a determinar la personalidad
Un macroestudio que analiza a más de un millón de personas concluye que la influencia del ambiente familiar en el desarrollo de la curiosidad o la amabilidad es menor de lo que se pensaba
Our personality is shaped by our DNA, a new study reveals. Over 1,200 genetic variants contribute to determining our individual characteristics. These findings, published in Nature, help clarify the ongoing debate about whether biology or upbringing has more influence on shaping our personality. Traits such as curiosity, ambition, responsibility, and kindness appear to be influenced by our genetic makeup.
Scientists have discovered that identical twins share more similarities in personality compared to fraternal twins, suggesting a genetic component. However, the exact location of these genetic influences remained unknown until now. In a groundbreaking study, an international team of researchers has identified 1,260 distinct genetic variants, 824 of which had never been linked to personality traits before. These variants are scattered throughout the human genome.
