Talk:Monoamine oxidase A

message: How much energy is released when MAO-A deaminates a molecule such as serotonin oxidatively? There could be a lot more specificity about the reactions MAO-A is involved in and less commentary about its prevelance in different ethnicities.RotogenRay (talk) 07:03, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Monoamine oxidase A. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

message: "Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are enzymes that are involved in the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine and are, therefore, capable of influencing feelings, mood, and behaviour of individuals".[47] According to this, if there was a mutation to the gene that is involved in the process of promoting or inhibiting MAO enzymes, it could affect a person's personality or behaviour and could therefore make them more prone to aggression. A deficiency in the MAOA gene has shown higher levels of aggression in males, which could further stimulate more research into this controversial topic. "A deficiency in monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) has been shown to be associated with aggressive behaviour in men of a Dutch family".[48]

thread_title:  Unframed quotes in "warrior gene" section 

message: The fourth paragraph from the top ends with an assertion that 85% of Caucasian men have the 2R allele of the MAOA gene.  But the first reference after that (ref 11, Beaver et al. 2012 titled "Exploring the association between the 2-repeat allele of the MAOA etc etc") says at the end of its abstract that 0.1% of Caucasian males carry the 2-repeat allele.

replies: text: I've read this part in the past, there's probably an edit somewhere that's changed this fallaciously. 84.64.95.134 (talk) 09:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Literally the last edit made (09:05, 5 January 2022‎ 100.14.147.45) changed the figure for prevalence in Caucasians for the 2R allele to 85% from 0.1%. They claim in the edit note "The first statement was false white male have a higher chance of MAO-A being in there blood". I don't think this person is distinguishing between the different alleles when they've chosen to make this edit I'll check the source and see if I can undo the edit if I confirm that this is wrong.84.64.95.134 (talk) 10:05, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 2R Allele 

message: I have noticed in several wiki articles when race or culture or invoked, the article either seems to inflate or reduce african or african american significance in subtle ways. For instance, 62% of Maori men, 57% of Japanese men, and upwards of 62% of Chinese men have the 3R allele. It appears to me in order from highest to lowest, yet African-American men sit at the top with upwards of 59%, which would put them in 3rd, rather than 1st. This is subtle, but put African-American men first has the effect of visually inflating the significance compared to other groups. Not the first time I've seem this but still problematic.
