Tension tendency
GeneralThis trait reflects a UK Biobank self-report item about how often someone feels tense, used in mood and personality research.
GWAS work has identified variants linked to this self-report, with overlap with anxiety and neuroticism.
This result reflects research-level variation in mood-related traits and is not a clinical assessment.
Stress, sleep, life events, mental health support, and current context strongly shape how tense someone feels.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
