Obesity-related RNA m6A demethylase gene FTO rs1421085 is associated with neuroticism in a longitudinal birth cohort study

Key Points

• Neuroticism is linked to the FTO rs1421085 genotype, implying genetic factors may influence personality traits.
• Participants were followed over a significant time, allowing for the observation of changes in neuroticism related to genetic variations.
• Analysis was conducted on data from a longitudinal birth cohort to identify connections between genotype and psychological outcomes.
• Findings highlight the need for further research on genetic influences on personality, particularly regarding mental health.
