After reading up on this addictive topic, it makes a lot of sense that you have a very high IQ. I bet you also have rs4680(G;G):

Close but no cigar - I'm A;G - worst of both worlds!
Edit: specifically, I have two short form 5-HTTLPR (gs290) (serotonin transport) (and various other uncommon serotonin linked SNPs, some linked with suicidal behaviour and schizophrenia, woohoo), rs1800497(C;T), which would be the origin of my absent dopamine reward cycle, rs6323(G;G), which interferes with serotonin, dopamine, epineprine, and norepinephrine.
Oh, and I have a grab-bag of SNPs both common and uncommon, which taken together mean that the vast majority of antidepressants and many painkillers (opiates) simply do not work on me - no pain relief, just extra pain and nausea... fun times in hospital when I learned that one.
