ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MONOAMINE OXIDASE A (MAOA) GENE POLYMORPHISM AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOR

Abstract

Practical portrayal thinks about uncovered that transcriptional action of the human monoamine oxidase A (MAOA)
quality is balanced by a polymorphic redundant arrangement situated in 1.2 kb upstream of the ATG codon. To
research the conceivable impact of the allelic variations of the MAOA quality in the hereditary inclination to
forceful conduct, a case-control affiliation investigation of 31 mental patients and 26 solid controls was directed.
Factual examination demonstrated no noteworthy contrasts in allele or genotype frequencies amongst control and
patient gatherings. These discoveries recommend that either high or low action alleles of the MAOA-uVNTR 30-bp
polymorphism are not related with standoffish conduct in mental patients.
