      Hi Midori!

      No problem, I’ll just try my best to answer that for you without being in the ‘genes’ zone!

      As you may know our personalities are a lot to do with nurture, but there are definite links between ‘persona’ or personalities and the human genome. Some are tentative links and some are more solid.

      I found this interesting article for you online- from a popular science magazine that is written for ‘lay’ readers or non-scientific folks!

      Let me know if you have any other questions about genes or the immune system!
