Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity is associated with impulsivity in clinical samples. Recently, a functional promoter polymorphism of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) termed NOS1 ex1f-VNTR was found to have an effect on impulsivity-related traits and resulting psychopathology. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to explore the effect of both platelet MAO activity and NOS1 ex1f-VNTR genotype on...
