About the test
Discover the "Female Infidelity" Gene
The “female infidelity” gene refers to five specific variants of the AVPR1A gene, which have been linked to an increased likelihood of extrapair mating or infidelity in women. These genetic variations influence vasopressin receptors, a key factor in social bonding and relationship behaviors.
While these variants are associated with female behavior, a separate AVPR1A variation, known as the RS3 334 allele, has been linked to infidelity in men. This specific variant can be detected through the Male Pair-Bonding Gene AVPR1A Test.
This test provides insights into the genetic factors that may influence relationship dynamics, helping individuals better understand their innate tendencies.
Genetic Profile
DNA Testing for the "Female Infidelity" Gene
The AVPR1A gene, located on chromosome 12, plays a role in social bonding and relationship behaviors. Each person inherits two copies of this gene—one from each parent. A simple DNA test can determine which variants of AVPR1A an individual has inherited.
The AVPR1A gene encodes the arginine vasopressin receptor 1A, which binds to the hormone vasopressin and transmits its signals within the body. Vasopressin plays a key role in water retention, blood pressure regulation, and, when released in the brain, influences social and sexual behaviors, including infidelity. Variants of this gene, sometimes referred to as the “female infidelity” gene, have been linked to a higher likelihood of extrapair mating.
Genetic variations in AVPR1A have been connected to:
- Increased likelihood of infidelity in both men and women
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Altruistic behavior
- Addictive behaviors
- Eating disorders
- Social behaviors, including sibling interactions
Research has linked five specific minor alleles (less common genetic variants) to an increased likelihood of infidelity in women:
- rs10877970
- rs10877969
- rs3021529
- rs11174811
- rs1587097
This test provides insight into how genetics may influence relationship behaviors and social connections.
