[Violent behavior in men due to genetic predisposition and childhood abuse: an hypothesis].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde - 3 May 2003

Tiemeier H, Verhulst F C

Abstract excerpt

Caspi et al. recently reported that the likelihood of an abused child becoming violent as an adult hinges on a gene regulating the expression of monoamine oxidase A. This enzyme metabolises neurotransmitters. The scientists followed 442 boys from birth to their mid twenties and found an interaction between childhood abuse and a genetic polymorphism. Major strengths of the study are the longitudinal design and the...
