BACKGROUND: Previous evidence has shown that genetic variations in the serotonergic
system contribute to individual differences in personality traits germane to impulse control …

This study presents preliminary evidence of an association between polymorphic variation in
the gene for monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA) and interindividual variability in …

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 …

Previous research suggests that genetic variations regulating serotonergic
neurotransmission mediate individual differences in the neural network underlying impulsive …

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

Rationale Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity is associated with impulsivity in
clinical samples. Recently, a functional promoter polymorphism of neuronal nitric oxide …

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

Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct with implications for understanding the etiology
and treatment of multiple forms of psychopathology. As a multidimensional construct …

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

Several lines of evidence indicate that monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity can regulate
levels of biogenic amines and neuronal activity in the nervous system. The two types of MAO …
