Variation in central serotonin levels due to genetic mutations or experimental modifications has been associated with the manifestation of aggression in humans and animals. Many studies have examined whether common variants in serotonergic genes are implicated in aggressive or antisocial behaviors (ASB) in human samples. The two most commonly studied polymorphisms have been the serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region of the serotonin transporter gene (5HTTLPR) and the 30 base pair…

Association of Polymorphisms of Serotonin Transporter (5HTTLPR) and 5-HT2C Receptor Genes with Criminal Behavior in Russian Criminal Offenders

TLDR
The lack of biological differences between the 2 groups of prisoners indicates that the studied 5HT-related genes do not differentiate between the types of crimes committed, and highly significant associations of 5HTTLPR and 5-HTR2C gene polymorphisms with being convicted for criminal behavior are revealed.

The Association of Oxytocin Receptor Gene (OXTR) Polymorphisms Antisocial Behavior: A Meta-analysis.

TLDR
It is concluded that the available literature does not rule out, nor strongly support, an effect of OXTR on antisocial behavior, and the overall results were robust to exclusion of any individual study and publication bias.

The effects of 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms on antisocial personality disorder among criminals in a sample of the Turkish population.

TLDR
ASD in Turkish society is associated with the SLC6A4 gene expression levels, though the distributions of 5-HTTLPR polymorphisms are not different, and sheds light on future relevant studies as the first study which is conducted in criminals with ASPD in the Turkish community.

Association of serotonin system-related genes with homicidal behavior and criminal aggression in a prison population of Pakistani Origin

TLDR
Findings implicate SLC6A4* HTTLPR as a major genetic determinant associated with criminal aggression and further studies are needed to replicate this finding and establish the biologic intermediate phenotypes mediating this relationship.

The relationship between the MAOA-uVNTR polymorphism, delinquent peer affiliation, and antisocial behavior with a consideration of sex differences

TLDR
The current study re-examines the relationship between MAOA-uVNTR, peer delinquency, and ASB with a consideration of sex differences in 291 college participants and indicates an interaction between the low-activity allele of the MAoa-u VNTR andpeer delinquency in predicting ASB.

The role of monoamine oxidase A in the neurobiology of aggressive, antisocial, and violent behavior: A tale of mice and men

Genome-wide association data suggest ABCB1 and immune-related gene sets may be involved in adult antisocial behavior

TLDR
The molecular genetic basis of AAB is examined in 1379 participants from a case–control study in which the cases met criteria for alcohol dependence, and it is suggested that ABCB1 may confer risk across externalizing behaviors, and is consistent with previous suggestions that immune pathways are associated with internalizing behaviors.

Psychopathic traits mediate the association of serotonin transporter genotype and child externalizing behavior.

TLDR
The role of psychopathic traits as a potential intermediate phenotype in genetically sensitive studies of child psychopathology is considered, particularly in girls.

Gene–environment interaction of monoamine oxidase A in relation to antisocial behaviour: current and future directions

TLDR
The literature is reviewed, some methodological aspects of candidate gene–environment interaction (cG×E) studies are noted and some future directions are suggested, which may differ according to the positive and negative environmental background of the population.

Gene-Set and Multivariate Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Oppositional Defiant Behavior Subtypes in Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder Neuropsychiatric

TLDR
Inadequate parenting behavior was significantly associated with all ODD dimensions and subtypes and the proteins encoded by 28 of the 53 top-ranked genes functionally interact in a molecular landscape centered around Beta-catenin signaling and involved in the regulation of neurite outgrowth.

A Non-Additive Interaction of a Functional MAO-A VNTR and Testosterone Predicts Antisocial Behavior

TLDR
The results confirm that MAOA genotype and CSF testosterone interact to predict antisocial behaviors and offer plausible explanations for previous inconsistencies in studies of the relationship between testosterone and male human aggression, as well as for how MAoa genotype may influence aggressive behavior in human males.

Socioeconomic status mediates the genetic contribution of the dopamine receptor D4 and serotonin transporter linked promoter region repeat polymorphisms to externalization in preadolescence

TLDR
It is suggested that diminished social constraints associated with low parental SES may act as enhancers of the genetic influence of specific DRD4 and 5-HTTLPR alleles over aggressive behaviors in preadolescence.

Incremental effect for antisocial personality disorder genetic risk combining 5-HTTLPR and 5-HTTVNTR polymorphisms

A regulatory polymorphism of the monoamine oxidase-A gene may be associated with variability in aggression, impulsivity, and central nervous system serotonergic responsivity

Association analysis of 15 polymorphisms within 10 candidate genes for antisocial behavioural traits

TLDR
Significant associations for antisocial traits were found with AR and ESR1 polymorphisms in men, and with polymorphisms within NR4A2 and TFAP2B in women, suggesting that genetic variation within transcription factors may in part explain the variation observed in the population for antissocial behavioural phenotypes.

The effect of the serotonin transporter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) on amygdala function: a meta-analysis

TLDR
The meta-analysis indicated that there is a statistically significant but small effect of 5-HTTLPR on left and right amygdala activity, and that the majority of previous studies have been considerably under powered to reliably demonstrate an effect of this size.

Association of serotonin transporter promoter gene polymorphism with violence: relation with personality disorders, impulsivity, and childhood ADHD psychopathology.

TLDR
Evidence is provided for an-at least partial-genetic regulation of violent behavior in a subgroup of male offenders, and a significant role for 5-HT transporter functionality for violent behavior is suggested.

Interaction between the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR), stressful life events, and risk of depression: a meta-analysis.

TLDR
This meta-analysis yielded no evidence that the serotonin transporter genotype alone or in interaction with stressful life events is associated with an elevated risk of depression in men alone, women alone, or in both sexes combined.

Possible Association between Serotonin Transporter Promoter Region Polymorphism and Extremely Violent Crime in Chinese Males

TLDR
The findings demonstrate that carriage of the low-activity S allele is associated with extremely violent criminal behavior in Chinese males, and suggests that the 5-HTT may be implicated in the mechanisms underlying violent behaviors.

The effects of child maltreatment on early signs of antisocial behavior: Genetic moderation by tryptophan hydroxylase, serotonin transporter, and monoamine oxidase A genes

TLDR
Investigation of gene–environment interaction effects in predicting antisocial behavior in late childhood among maltreated and nonmaltreated low-income children clarified how genetic variation contributes to identifying which maltreated children are most vulnerable to antisocial development.
