MAOA Variants and Genetic Susceptibility to Major Psychiatric Disorders.

Molecular neurobiology - 1 Sept 2016

Liu Zichao, Huang Liang, Luo Xiong-Jian, Wu Lichuan, Li Ming

Abstract excerpt

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) is a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the metabolism of several biological amines such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which are important neurochemicals in the pathogenesis of major psychiatric illnesses. MAOA is regarded as a functional plausible susceptibility gene for psychiatric disorders, whereas previous hypothesis-driven association studies obtained controversial...
