Abstract

The goal is to identify personality factors associated with a polymorphic marker of susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between quantitative character traits determined using Cattell’s psychodiagnostic method (16 factor personality questionnaire, 16PF) and the polymorphic variant rs1466662 in the DCHS2 gene was analyzed. DNA samples from 172 students were genotyped by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The obtained data were processed by the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Non-random associations were established with factor A (withdrawal – sociability) in the general sample of medical university students under a codominant type of inheritance (р = 0.018). A connection was found between this variant and factor F (restraint – expressiveness) for an autosomal recessive type of inheritance (р = 0.016) in males, and factor F4 (conformity – independence) under an overdominant type of inheritance (р = 0.031) in females. The findings likely indicate a partially overlapping genetic component of susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease and variability in personality traits.
