Abstract:

Despite frequent comorbidity of aggressive behavior (AB) with several psychopathologies and criminal antisocial behaviours, it is present in everyday life even at high extent thus representing an important social prob- lem causing significant costs to society. It is known that AB is significantly hereditary, but specific gene-environmental (G ×E) mechanisms mediating the genetic risk for aggres- sion remain unclear.
