Abstract excerpt
A pVNTR repeat polymorphism located in the promoter region of the X-linked MAOA gene has been associated with mental disorders. To explore the effect of polymorphisms and epigenetic factors on mRNA expression, we have measured allelic expression imbalance (AEI) in female human brain tissue, employing two frequent marker single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon 8 (T890G) and exon 14 (C1409T) of MAOA. This...
