Abstract excerpt

Abnormalities in monoamine oxidase (MAO) levels have been implicated in a wide range of psychiatric disorders. We have examined a VNTR polymorphism at the X-linked MAOA gene to test two hypotheses: (1) Do variants of the MAOA gene play a role in any of the behavioral disorders associated with Tourette syndrome or drug abuse? (2) If so, is there any correlation between the length of the alleles and the phenotypic...
