Specific Gene Found In Adolescent Men With Delinquent Peers

From ScienceDaily:

Birds of a feather flock together, according to the old adage, and adolescent males who possess a certain type of variation in a specific gene are more likely to flock to delinquent peers, according to a landmark study led by Florida State University criminologist Kevin M. Beaver.

But the study led by Beaver is the first to establish a statistically significant association between an affinity for antisocial peer groups and a particular variation (called the 10-repeat allele) of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1).

This could be dangerous. Welcome to biosocial data analysis by those who can, and possible infringement of access to areas of our society because your DNA makes somebody think you might not be trustworthy.
