Abstract excerpt

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), a mitochondrial outer membrane enzyme, degrades biogenic amines including norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin, which have been implicated in the expression of personality traits. We tested the associations between functional MAOA-uVNTR genetic variants and personali...
