Abstract excerpt

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays important roles in the survival, maintenance and growth of neurons. Several studies have indicated that BDNF is likely to be related to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Recent genetic analyses have revealed that BDNF gene polymorphisms are associated with schizophrenia, although contradictory negative findings have also been reported. To assess whether three BDNF...
