	  abstract     = {Monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) is suggested to
be a candidate gene implicated in many neuropsychiatric disorders,
including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This meta-analytic review
evaluates the relationship between ASD and MAOA markers such as
30 bp variable number tandem repeats in the promoter region
(uVNTR) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by using
findings from recently published studies. It seems that in Caucasian
males, the risk of developing ASD increase with the presence of 4-
repeat allele in the promoter region of MAOA gene whereas no
differences were found between autistic patients and controls in
Egyptian, West Bengal and Korean population. Some studies point to
the importance of specific haplotype groups of SNPs and interaction
of MAOA with others genes (e. g. FOXP2 or SRY). The results of
existing studies are insufficient and further research is needed.
