Are you talking about the Met-158 mutation? If not, which?

I agree that the real culprit is stress-- biological differences to processing and coping with stress are likely the actual mechanism at play rather than generalized "coercion" like the article suggests without providing evidence. Our society is intensely stressful, and provides no real permanent reductions in stress level.

Is what you are talking about mentioned in any way here? http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs1800497

I'm not seeing it. Curious to find a reference with more info.

When you say hetero, I would guess you mean (C;T) which doesn't look that rare, i'm guessing i'm misunderstanding.

Your mental superpowers are caused by a rare mutation shared with 40% of all people?

Yep. This must be why 40% of the population has a “verbal” intelligence that can’t be measured.
