The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism and smoking.

Neuroscience letters - 5 Sept 2008

Montag Christian, Basten Ulrike, Stelzel Christine, Fiebach Christian J, Reuter Martin

Abstract excerpt

Although the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been mainly investigated in the context of depression and anxiety disorders, several studies also suggest an association between BDNF and smoking. BDNF represents a protein which crucially influences several processes in the cell ranging from growth to apoptosis. A functional variant of the BDNF gene - the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism - is one of the main...
