~ W e have tested the hypothesis that DNA markers in the MAOA gene show allelic association with bipolar affective disorder. Eighty-four unrelated Caucasian patients with DSM 111-R bipolar disorder and 84 Caucasian controls were typed for three markers in MAOA a dinucleotide repeat in intron 2, a VN

## 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
There is evidence indicating that density of 5-HT2A receptors is altered in brain regions of depressed suicide victims and in platelets of suicidal subjects with major depression or schizophrenia. Recent studies have also shown an association between the allele C of 102T/C polymorphism in the 5-HT2A
