Notes
From SNPedia
People with this SNP may also have the 3 repeat version of MAOA, known as the Warrior Gene. It makes people more aggressive and antisocial. If you are male, you inherited this from your mother and your sons won't get it from you. Do not confuse this with the completely different warrior/worrier COMT gene.
