What is the “female infidelity” gene?
The “female infidelity” gene refers to five genetic variants of the AVPR1A gene. Each of these variants are associated with an increased likelihood of extrapair mating or cheating in women.

What is the AVPR1A gene?
The AVPR1A gene encodes the arginine vasopressin receptor 1A, which binds vasopressin and transmits the signal into the cells. Vasopressin is a hormone or chemical messenger that promotes water retention in the kidneys and increases blood pressure. Most of these effects take place when vasopressin is released into the blood stream. Vasopressin can also be released directly into the brain and influence social and sexual behavior (such as infidelity). When this signal transmission is disrupted, as in the case of “female infidelity” gene, there is an increased likelihood of extrapair mating or cheating.
The Genetics of Female Infidelity
The AVPR1A gene, located on chromosome 12, plays a role in social and relationship behaviors. Each person inherits two copies of this gene—one from each parent. A simple DNA test can identify which versions of AVPR1A an individual has. Research has linked specific minor alleles (less common genetic variants) in this gene to a higher likelihood of infidelity in women. These variants occur at the following markers:
- rs10877970
- rs10877969
- rs3021529
- rs11174811
- rs1587097
By analyzing these genetic markers, individuals can gain insight into how their DNA may influence relationship behaviors.
