Association studies suggest that the low activity variant of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA)-
uVNTR polymorphism confers risk for emotional disturbances associated with antisocial …

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) enzymatically degrades biogenic amines such as
norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, and plays a key role in the regulation of their …

Monoamine oxidase A and B (MAOA and MAOB) appear to be involved in the pathogenesis
of Major Depression, and vulnerability of Major Depression is associated with personality …

Low functioning MAOA genotypes have been reliably linked to increased reactive
aggression, yet the psychological mechanisms of this effect remain largely unknown. The …

Genetic variants of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) have been associated with
aggression-, anxiety-, and addiction-related behavior in several nonclinical and clinical …

BACKGROUND: Although research indicates a relationship between the monoamine
oxidase-A (MAOA) gene and aggression, the intervening neural and psychological …

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) activity is altered in mood disorders and lower activity
associated with aggressive behavior. The gene has a functional polymorphism with a …

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) genotypic variation has been associated with variation in
aggression, especially in interaction with childhood trauma or other early adverse events …

The genetic deletion of monoamine oxidase A (MAO A), an enzyme that breaks down the
monoamine neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine, produces …

Low expressing alleles of the MAOA gene (MAOA-L) have been associated with an
increased risk for developing an aggressive personality. This suggests an MAOA-L-specific …
