TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Genes for extreme violent behaviour? JO - Medecine sciences A1 - Jordan, Bertrand SP - 105 EP - 110 VL - 31 IS - 1 N2 - A new genetic study focussing on the degree of violence in criminals and using both candidate gene and GWAS approaches finds statistically significant associations of extreme violent behaviour with low activity alleles of monoamine oxydase A (MAOA) and with the CD13 gene. However, the alleles implicated are common in the general population, thus they cannot be causal, and only represent potential indicators of increased risk.
