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 …

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

BACKGROUND: Allelic variation of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene has been
implicated in conduct disorder and antisocial, aggressive behavior in humans when …

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

We analyzed a novel functional 30-bp repeat polymorphism in the promoter region of the X-
chromosomal monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) to test whether length variation of the …

To determine whether normative variability in aggressive behavior correlates negatively with
central nervous system (CNS) serotonergic function among men, plasma prolactin (PRL) …

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

Various polymorphisms of the X‐chromosomal monoamine oxidase A (MAO‐A) gene were
investigated for association with affective disorders. However, none of the studied variants …
