A unique demographic history exists for the MAO-A gene in Polynesians.

Journal of human genetics - 1 May 2012

Eccles David A, Macartney-Coxson Donia, Chambers Geoffrey K, Lea Rodney A

Abstract excerpt

Variation in the human monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) gene can influence neurotransmittor levels and is thought to have a role in many behavioral traits. The genetic architecture of MAO-A is known to vary across different geographic subgroups. Previous studies have reported evidence for positive selection within the MAO-A gene region in seven ethnic groups: Pygmy, Aboriginal Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican and...
