Epidemiological studies revealed that the impulsive aggressive behavior is affected by genetic factors, and the male-specific Y chromosome plays an important role in this behavior. In this study, we investigated the association between the impulsive aggressive behavior and Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) loci.<h4>Methods</h4>The collected biologic samples from 271 offenders with impulsive aggressive behavior and 492 healthy individuals without impulsive aggressive behavior were amplified by PowerPlex^RY23 PCR System and the resultant products were separated by electrophoresis and further genotyped. Then, comparisons in allele and haplotype frequencies of the selected 22 Y-STRs were made inBrain and behaviorLinking Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat loci to human male impulsive aggression.PMC569887109 MB113 and 13MS016No. 2016CZLJ018CE20145045Dong GCao YBa HGao ZZhang SYang CZhou XZhao HfalseLinking Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat loci to human male impulsive aggression.<h4>Introduction</h4>Men are more susceptible to impulsive behavior than women.
