Trait
Boiling mad
Clinical name: Anger
A state of excessive negative emotional reactivity characterized by strong feelings of hostility or antagonism typically in response to perceived provocation. It is often accompanied by physiological arousal (e.g., increased heart rate, muscle tension, or activation of the sympathetic nervous system) and expressions of blame, perceived injustice, or judgment. The experience of anger may be directed outwardly toward individuals, groups, objects, or abstract entities, or inwardly toward oneself.

|---|---|---|
| KDM6Blysine demethylase 6B | Always | In 1 condition |
| NOTCH3notch receptor 3 | Always | In 1 condition |
| HTThuntingtin | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC2A3solute carrier family 2 member 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MSL2MSL complex subunit 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
