Journal ArticleDOI
A functional polymorphism in the monoamine oxidase A gene promoter
TL;DR: A new polymorphism upstream of the gene for monoamine oxidase A, which consists of a 30-bp repeated sequence present in 3, 3.5, 4, or 5 copies, may be useful as both a functional and an anonymous genetic marker for MAOA.
Journal ArticleDOI
A linkage between DNA markers on the X chromosome and male sexual orientation
TL;DR: Investigation of pedigree and linkage analyses on 114 families of homosexual men found increased rates of same-sex orientation were found in the maternal uncles and male cousins of these subjects, but not in their fathers or paternal relatives, suggesting the possibility of sex-linked transmission in a portion of the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Throughput SNP Genotyping by Allele-Specific PCR with Universal Energy-Transfer-Labeled Primers
TL;DR: The new method is well suited for high-throughput, automated genotyping because it requires only one reaction per SNP, it is performed in a single tube with no post-PCR handling, the same energy-transfer-labeled primers are used for all analyses, and the instrumentation is inexpensive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper activates metallothionein gene transcription by altering the conformation of a specific DNA binding protein
TL;DR: A novel copper cluster model for the DNA binding domain is proposed based on its surprising structural similarities to metallothionein itself and shows that copper activates this domain by causing a major switch in its conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between the serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism and personality traits in a primarily female population sample
Benjamin D. Greenberg,Qian Li,Frank R. Lucas Iv,Stella Hu,Leo A. Sirota,Jonathan Benjamin,Klaus-Peter Lesch,Dean H. Hamer,Dennis L. Murphy +8 more
TL;DR: These results help to define specific personality features reproducibly associated with 5-HTTLPR genotype, enhancing the attractiveness of the five-factor personality model in genetic research on complex behavioral dimensions.
