No evidence for interaction between MAOA and childhood adversity for antisocial behavior.

چکیده
Previous reports have identified an interaction between an MAOA promoter polymorphism and childhood adversity for antisocial behavioral outcomes in males. This study attempted to replicate this finding in an Australian community survey of 1,002 Caucasian men aged 20-24 years. Greater childhood adversity was associated with later antisocial behavior, but no association was observed between MAOA genotype and antisocial behavior, and no interaction was found between childhood adversity and MAOA genotype for antisocial behavior. This study does not support previous reports of an interaction between MAOA genotype and childhood adversity for antisocial behavior in males.

Monoamine oxidase A and childhood adversity as risk factors for conduct disorder in females.
BACKGROUND Recent studies among males have reported a genotype-environment interaction (GxE) in which low-activity alleles at the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) locus conferred greater sensitivity to the effects of childhood adversity on risk for conduct disorder (CD). So far, few studies of females have controlled for gene-environment correlation or used females heterozygous for this X-linked gene...
متن کاملModerating role of the MAOA genotype in antisocial behaviour.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have examined gene×environment (G×E) interactions involving the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene in moderating the associations between exposure to adversity and antisocial behaviour. The present study examined a novel method for assessing interactions between a single gene and multiple risk factors related to environmental and personal adversity. AIMS To test the hyp...
متن کاملMAOA, childhood maltreatment, and antisocial behavior: meta-analysis of a gene-environment interaction.
BACKGROUND In a seminal study of gene-environment interaction, childhood maltreatment predicted antisocial behavior more strongly in male subjects carrying an MAOA promoter variant of lesser, compared with higher, transcriptional efficiency. Many further investigations have been reported, including studies of other early environmental exposures and female subjects. Here, we report a meta-analys...
متن کاملMAOA genotype, maltreatment, and aggressive behavior: the changing impact of genotype at varying levels of trauma.
BACKGROUND Childhood adversity has been shown to interact with monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA) genotype to confer risk for antisocial behavior. Studies examining this gene-by-environment (G x E) association, however, have produced mixed results. METHODS Relevant research is reviewed, and results of a study with 114 children (73 maltreated and 41 control subjects) are presented. The maltreated chil...
متن کاملMen's Antisocial Behavior Interactions Between Monoamine Oxidase A and Punitive Discipline in African American and Caucasian
Although previous studies have shown that interactions between monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) genotype and childhood maltreatment predict Caucasian boys’ antisocial behavior, the generalizability of this gene-environment interaction to more diverse populations and more common parenting behaviors, such as punitive discipline in early childhood, is not clearly understood. Among 189 low-income men (44...
