ABSTRACT
A functional polymorphism in the promoter of the monoamine oxidase gene has recently been described by Sabol et al. This polymorphism is a strong candidate for associations with personality traits and psychiatric symptoms. We report relevant data from a general population sample of 850 Caucasian Australians. We found no associations with anxiety and depression symptoms, with personality traits that predispose to anxiety (neuroticism, behavioral inhibition, negative affect) or to a personality trait related to antisocial behavior (psychoticism).
