Abstract excerpt

Given the implications with respect to neuronal survival and the decreased level of the protein in the striatal region in Parkinson's disease (PD), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be a candidate gene conferring susceptibility to PD. In a recent study of a Japanese population, a functional BDNF Val66Met polymorphism was associated with PD, however, an analogous investigation of a western population...
