This dissertation investigated the genetic basis of violent criminal behavior, antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and broader antisocial behavior through GWAS and meta-analyses in Finnish and international populations. Study I identified an intronic CDH13 variant (rs11649622, OR=2.7, p=4.19×10⁻⁶) associated with extremely violent offending, replicated in homicide offenders (p=5.3×10⁻⁷, OR=2.17). Study II revealed the first genome-wide significant association between LINC00951 variant rs4714329 (OR=1.59, p=1.6×10⁻⁹) and ASPD. Study III meta-analysis of 16,400 individuals found no genome-wide significant associations with broader antisocial behavior, though polygenic risk scores explained ~5% of phenotypic variance.
About OXTR
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family and acts as a receptor for oxytocin. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The oxytocin-oxytocin receptor system plays an important role in the uterus during parturition. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
