Aggression, digit ratio and variation in androgen receptor and monoamine oxidase a genes in men.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2011

Hurd Peter L, Vaillancourt Kathryn L, Dinsdale Natalie L

Abstract excerpt

Variation in prenatal exposure to androgens is thought to be responsible for some of the individual differences in aggressive behavior among adults. A putative indicator of prenatal testosterone exposure, 2D:4D (the index to ring finger length) ratios have shown a weak correlation with aggression. Variation in sensitivity of the androgen receptor, resulting from polymorphism in the AR gene, is also thought to...
