Abstract excerpt
Among fifteen male skin fibroblast cultures from eleven donors ranging in age from less than 1 year to 90 years old, the specific activity of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) differed 515-fold. Each culture had one of the two most common alleles (three or four 30-bp repeats) at the variable number tandem repeat locus positioned 1.2 kb upstream from MAOA exon 1 (uVNTR). The mean MAO-A activity in cultures with three...
