Basic Result |
Collectively, we confirmed that MAOA is a risk gene for psychiatric disorders, and our results provide useful information toward a better understanding of genetic mechanism involving MAOA underlying risk of complex psychiatric disorders. |

In the BPD studies, we found marginally significant differences between patients and controls in females for allele A2, A5, and A6 (all p<0.09).When the data was further subdivided by ethnicity, the associations for allele A2 and A6 became significant in femaleEuropeans (A2 allele, p=0.0013, OR=1.898; A6 allele, p=0.010, OR=0.695) but not the other subgroups.

Meta-analysis of rs1137070 on BPD is not available since there is only one study, but the effect size in this BPD sample (OR=1.106 for T allele) is similar with the results in meta-analysis of MDD and SCZ. rs1137070 is significantly associated with broad psychiatric disorders in males, females and combined samples, with similar effect size between gender groups.

We find no evidence of association with BPD on this locus in either males (p=0.782, OR=1.059) or females (p=0.717, OR=1.053). The data were also subdivided by ethnicity, and no positive association was found in either populations.
