Abstract excerpt

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophic factor family, may represent a candidate gene conferring susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is because it has an important role in neuronal survival, and a decreased central level of BDNF is observed in AD. Some previous studies, though not all, have demonstrated that BDNF C270T polymorphisms might be associated with AD...
