Abstract excerpt
The genes encoding the A and B forms of the human monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAOA and MAOB) are localized at Xp11.23-Xp11.4. We report the characterization of a highly informative polymorphic region within a 2.9-kb cloned fragment containing the first exon of the MAOA gene. The polymorphic region consists of a GT microsatellite directly adjacent to an imperfectly duplicated novel 23-bp VNTR motif. DNA sequencing...
