Polymorphisms in the canine monoamine oxidase a (MAOA) gene: identification and variation among five broad dog breed groups

BACKGROUND: In humans, reduced activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase type A (MAOA) due to genetic polymorphisms within the MAOA gene leads to increased brain neurotransmitter levels associated with aggression. In order to study MAOA genetic diversity in dogs, we designed a preliminary study whose...
