Serotonergic gene polymorphisms (5-HTTLPR 5HTR1A 5HTR2A) and population differences in aggression: traditional (Hadza and Datoga) and industrial (Russians) populations compared

摘要

BackgroundCurrent knowledge on genetic basis of aggressive behavior is still contradictory. This may be due to the fact that the majority of studies targeting associations between candidate genes and aggression are conducted on industrial societies and mainly dealing with various types of psychopathology and disorders. Because of that, our study was carried on healthy adult individuals of both sex (n = 853).
