MAOA gene is located on the short (p) arm of the X chromosome at position 11.3.. Monoamine oxidase A, also known as MAO-A, is an enzyme (E.C. 1.4.3.4) that in humans is encoded by the MAOA gene.
Monoamine oxidases (MAO) (EC 1.4.3.4) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines, employing oxygen to clip off their amine group. [1] [2] They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types of the body.
Brunner syndrome is a rare genetic disorder associated with a mutation in the MAOA gene. It is characterized by lower than average IQ (typically about 85), problematic impulsive behavior (such as pyromania, hypersexuality and violence), sleep disorders and mood swings. [1] [2] It was identified in fourteen males from one family in 1993.
English: A section of chromosome X, showing the relative positions of MAOA and MAOB genes and mutations typed in [1]. Mutations that were polymorphic in the Maori group are coloured blue. The labels for each mutation refer to the segment, region, and nucleotide position from [2].

There are reports of MAOI efficacy in OCD, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, and avoidant personality disorder, but these reports are from uncontrolled case reports. [ 19 ] MAOIs can also be used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease by targeting MAO-B in particular (therefore affecting dopaminergic neurons ), as well as providing ...
The COMT protein is coded by the gene COMT.The gene is associated with allelic variants. The best-studied is Val 158 Met. [15] Others are rs737865 and rs165599 that have been studied, e.g., for association with personality traits, [21] response to antidepressant medications, [22] and psychosis risk associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Membrane-associated transporter protein (MATP), also known as solute carrier family 45 member 2 (SLC45A2) or melanoma antigen AIM1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC45A2 gene. [5] [6] [7] In human, the SLC45A2 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 5 at position 13.2.
