Abstract excerpt

Because of its implication in neuroprotection, formation of long lasting memories and a disturbed function in Alzheimer's disease (AD), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may represent an appropriate candidate gene conferring risk to AD. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (C-270T) within the BDNF gene has been associated with late onset AD in a Japanese population giving an odds ratio (OR) of 3.8....
