## Abstract Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) has been implicated in the control of aggression and/or impulsivity in humans and been involved in suicide. This gene has a functional polymorphism in which there is a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in the upstream region (MAOA‐uVNTR). We hypothesized th
## Monoamine oxidase B (MAO -B ) is an enzyme that has relevance for Parkinson disease (PD) because of its roles in catabolizing dopamine and potentially activating exogenous neurotoxicants. A polymorphism of the gene encoding MAO-B has been identified as a single base change (A or G) in intron
## Abstract The prodynorphin gene (__PDYN__) encoding the anticonvulsant peptide dynorphin is a strong candidate for a seizure suppressor gene and thus a possible modulator of susceptibility to temporal lobe epilepsy. We performed a case control association study in 155 patients with nonlesional te
