ABSTRACT
Impulsive and aggressive behaviors along with intellectual disabilities often manifest in the context of genetic disorders and are a persisting challenge to professionals in the forensic psychiatric and psychological setting. The following chapter comprises an overview of relevant factors in the gene-context-behavior interaction such as monoamine oxidase A activity and specific epileptic phenomena. It presents several examples of monogenetic disorders with behaviors from the aggression spectrum and summarizes emerging strategies for treatment and clinical management thereof. The final part focuses on challenges and future developments in this field with relevance for the judicial and forensic systems. It is concluded that the relationship between a genetic syndrome and forensically relevant and/or violent behaviors should typically be addressed within a multidisciplinary framework that also includes the application of modern genetic techniques.
