Genetic association between monoamine oxidase and manic-depressive illness: comparison of relative risk and haplotype relative risk data.

American journal of medical genetics - 19 Sept 1997

Abstract excerpt

There have been several conflicting reports of association of monoamine oxidase (MAO) A gene polymorphisms and bipolar affective disorder. In order to determine the possible role of the MAO region in susceptibility to affective disorders in an independent sample, we have genotyped 83 probands of...
