All about rs909525

Notes

From SNPedia

Women with this combination usually have the 3 repeat MAOA Warrior Gene on one X chromosome and the 4 or 5 repeat MAOA non-Warrior Gene on the other X chromosome. The 3 repeat Warrior Gene makes people more aggressive and antisocial. If you are a man, there was a problem reading this SNP (or you are XXY).
