The \u003cem\u003eAVPR1A\u003c\/em\u003e gene encodes the arginine vasopressin receptor 1A, which binds vasopressin and transmits the signal into the cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVasopressin is a hormone or \"chemical messenger\" that promotes water retention in the kidneys and increases blood pressure. Most of these effects take place when vasopressin is released into the bloodstream. Vasopressin can also be released directly into the brain and influence social and sexual behavior such as infidelity. In people with the \"male pair-bonding\" version of the gene, this signal transmission is disrupted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMen with the RS3 334 allele are less likely to form a strong bond with their partners and are more likely to experience marital crisis or divorce. They are less likely to get married and more likely to cohabitate than people without the RS3 334 allele. Spouses of men with the RS3 334 allele report feeling less affection and consensus in the marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no evidence that this variant influences sexual behavior in females. However, different \u003cem\u003eAVPR1A\u003c\/em\u003e variations are associated with an increased likelihood of infidelity in females, detected in a separate Female Infidelity Gene test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Genetics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAVPR1A\u003c\/em\u003e gene is located on chromosome 12. We inherit two copies of the gene — one from each parent. A simple DNA test can determine which forms of \u003cem\u003eAVPR1A\u003c\/em\u003e a person has inherited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariants Tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three different \u003cem\u003eAVPR1A\u003c\/em\u003e variants (RS1, RS3, and GT25) that arise due to short tandem repeats (STRs) in the regulatory region, which controls AVPR1A protein levels. A specific version of RS3, known as the RS3 334 allele, is associated with diminished pair-bonding in males. The \u003cem\u003eAVPR1A\u003c\/em\u003e STR test determines the length of the RS3 repeat region to find out whether a person has the RS3 334 infidelity variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther conditions associated with the AVPR1A gene:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltruistic behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddictive behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEating disorders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial behavior such as sibling interactions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Order your DNA test kit online — delivered straight to your doorstep.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collect your DNA sample using a painless mouth swab and mail to the lab in the provided prepaid return envelope.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e Receive your results through our secure online platform — private and confidential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Precision Lab Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8839332200502,"sku":"Male Pair-Bonding Gene AVPR1A Test","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/precision-lab-works-behavior-traits-default-title-male-pair-bonding-gene-test-23295230771254.png?v=1788637099","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/male-pair-bonding-gene-test","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
