- Abstract
The difficulties frequently caused by increased stress sensitivity while performing mathematical operations (mathematical anxiety, MA) represent an important problem for individual success. To date, no molecular-genetic studies have been published with respect to variations in math anxiety. According to "generalist genes hypothesis," the genes involved in regulation of cognitive functioning and stress-associated component, including SNAP25, ARC, and GRIK1 genes, might be of interest to unravel the genetic nature of MA. Considering the necessity to include stress-related environmental factors in the analysis, the present study estimated both the main effect of SNAP25 (rs1051312, rs363050), ARC (rs2234911), and GRIK1 (rs2832407) gene polymorphisms and G × E interactions in individual differences in MA in 523 healthy individuals without cognitive decline with consideration of sex- and ethnicity-related differences. The association of SNAP25 rs363050*G allele with higher MA was observed in Tatars (P = 0.014, PFDR = 0.041, r2 = 0.044). As a result of multiple regression analysis, the G × E model including ARC (rs2234911)* order of birth affecting MA level was established (βST = 0.17, r2 = 0.017, Р = 0.049). The data obtained indicate the involvement of the SNAP25 and ARC genes
