Men with the changed variant of a gene of a monoamine and (MAOA), "soldier" named a gene, according to scientists from the State university of Florida, will more possibly join gangs and will use the weapon.

However on women with similar genetic feature results of research do not extend.

The combination of genetics and medium of development of the person gives rise to severe criminals, experts in the field of criminalistics consider.

Gangs were usually regarded as a social phenomenon, however the variant of gene MAOA (with three repeating sites) plays an appreciable role in their formation.

The genetic variant specifies in that member of grouping who is ready to use in a course the weapon.
Gene MAOA does oxidation of a considerable quantity of various monoamines, including adrenaline, Noradrenalinum and a serotonin which influence behaviour.

The gene is located on the H-chromosome therefore the men possessing one H-chromosome and one Y-chromosome, have its unique repetition, and women with two H-chromosomes - two. Thus, the man with the variant of gene MAOA bound to violence, does not have second repetition which counteracts it.

New research studied data on DNA and the information concerning a way of life, collected on 2500 participants.
