The role of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene in personality and related psychopathological disorders.

CNS & neurological disorders drug targets - 1 May 2012

Montag Christian, Jurkiewicz Magdalena, Reuter Martin

Abstract excerpt

This review provides a short overview of the most significant biologically oriented theories of human personality. Personality concepts of Eysenck, Gray and McNaughton, Cloninger and Panksepp will be introduced and the focal evidence for the heritability of personality will be summarized. In this context, a synopsis of a large number of COMT genetic association studies (with a focus on the COMT Val158Met...
