A functional polymorphism in the monoamine oxidase A gene promoter.

Human genetics - 1 Sept 1998

Sabol S Z, Hu S, Hamer D

Abstract excerpt

We describe a new polymorphism upstream of the gene for monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), an important enzyme in human physiology and behavior. The polymorphism, which is located 1.2 kb upstream of the MAOA coding sequences, consists of a 30-bp repeated sequence present in 3, 3.5, 4, or 5 copies. The polymorphism is in linkage disequilibrium with other MAOA and MAOB gene markers and displays significant variations in...
