Abstract excerpt

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) influences dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission in the brain, both of which are involved in the reward system of addiction. The BDNF gene is located in a genomic region on chromosome 11p where we and others have found 'significant' linkage to nicotine dependence (ND). We tested the potential role of variants within BDNF in vulnerability to ND, which was assessed by...
