Finno-Ugrian suicide hypothesis

The Finno-Ugrian suicide hypothesis is a theory that links genetic ties originating among Finno-Ugric cultures & ethnicities to high rate of suicide, claiming a gene common among them is responsible.

Mari and Udmurts have been found to have a three times higher suicide rate than Finns and Hungarians. It has been thus theorized that such a possible gene may have arisen in those populations.
