MAOA and the "cycle of violence:" childhood abuse and neglect, MAOA genotype, and risk for violent and antisocial behavior.

Biological psychiatry - 1 Oct 2006

Widom Cathy Spatz, Brzustowicz Linda M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Two recent studies with white males have shown that genotypes associated with high levels of monamine oxidase A (MAOA) protect against the impact of childhood maltreatment and adversity on the development of antisocial behavior and conduct disorder. METHODS: Participants in a prospective cohort design study involving court substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect and a matched comparison group...
