MAOA and Conduct Disorder
A 10 page research paper that examines the links between MAOA, as a genetic factor, and the development of conduct disorder. There is a large body of empirical research that connects the development of conduct disorder to childhood maltreatment (Fergusson, Boden and Horwood, 2008; Jaffee, et al, 2004). However, a continuing debate addresses the question as to whether or not conduct disorder is a psychopathology or the consequence of abusive and/or neglectful parents. A recent and growing body of evidence indicates that the causes of conduct disorder are multifaceted, as there is evidence that indicates a genetic predisposition to conduct disorder, particularly in regards to MAOA activity studies. Bibliography lists 15 source.
