Monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) predicts behavioral aggression following provocation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 17 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) has earned the nickname "warrior gene" because it has been linked to aggression in observational and survey-based studies. However, no controlled experimental studies have tested whether the warrior gene actually drives behavioral manifestations of these tendencies. We report an experiment, synthesizing work in psychology and behavioral economics, which demonstrates that aggression...
