Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) knockout results in increased impulsive aggression in mice under adverse housing conditions. In line with this, we have previously shown that a functional promoter polymorphism of NOS1, termed NOS1 ex1f-VNTR, is associated with impulsivity-related traits and related disorders. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine whether adverse environment interacts with the risk...
