Differential functional variability of serotonin transporter and monoamine oxidase a genes in macaque species displaying contrasting levels of aggression-related behavior.

Abstract excerpt

Functional allelic variation in the transcriptional control region of the serotonin transporter and monoamine oxidase A genes has been associated with anxiety- and aggression-related behavior in humans and, more recently, in nonhuman primates. Here, we have genotyped these polymorphic regions in seven species of the genus Macaca. Macaques exhibit exceptional inter-species variation in aggression-related social...
