BUDAPEST, Hungary, March 9 (UPI) -- Anger, hostility and aggression may be genetic in women, research released in Budapest, Hungary, said.
"Aggression and hostility are predictors of hypertension, glucose metabolism and heart diseases," said Dr. Indrani Halder of the University of Pittsburgh, who planned to present her findings at the American Psychosomatic Society's Annual Meeting in Budapest.
"The genetic marker we found for hostility also may be useful for predicting a person's predisposition to such diseases," she said.
Her research looked at the relationship between variations in a serotonin receptor gene and anger and hostility. Previous research has linked serotonin, a hormone, with anger and aggression. The new research sought to determine whether the relationship was genetic.
The research was based on 550 unrelated women of European descent.
I'd like to recommend my ex-wife for the validation sample!

Just go through one divorce after she cheats on you and see whose fault it is.

It's a good thing they're cute when they're mad.
GENES?......... LoL.. Democrats?... (Eddie Murphy laugh)..
I think anger is the genetic predisposition of DemonRATs. We win when we do political biological warfare and trigger their anger gene. It is when they are angry that they are bound up by their irrational thinking.
I know holding a grudge sure is!
And remembering crap that happened 15 years ago....suddenly...just like it happened 15 minutes ago....and letting YOU know about it......
All I can think about is Ron Whites tirade about his wife on PMS...still chuckle everytime I recall that skit..
PMS is a clinical term. It stands for, "Pack My SH!+."
