L-R χ2 = Likelihood Ratio chi square; df = degrees of freedom

MAOA-LPR H v L: high activity variant vs low activity variant

G*E: MAOA-LPR × CTQ contributes 0.013 of the total variance in BGHA aggression

Psychoticism and neuroticism scores derive from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire

G*E interaction term MAOA-LPR × Psychoticism for violent behavior during incarceration, p = 0.85 and for suicide attempts / self-mutilation, p = 0.82. Therefore this interaction term was not included in these logistic regression analyses.
