Abstract excerpt

The X-linked monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) gene, coding for an enzyme especially involved in the serotonin catabolism, presents a well-characterized functional polymorphism (long and short variants) in the promoter region that alters the transcriptional activity of the gene and hence the function of the corresponding proteins. Using optimized voxel-based morphometry, we studied the effect of this functional...
