Gender-dependent association of a functional NGF polymorphism with anxiety-related personality traits.

Pharmacopsychiatry - 1 Sept 2008

Lang U E, Hellweg R, Bajbouj M, Gaus V, Sander T, Gallinat J

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been shown to be involved in anxiety behaviour and the expression of conditioned fear in mice. METHODS: We have tested a total of 337 (age: 39.2 +/- 14.6 years) unrelated subjects of German descent (166 males; 171 females) who were carefully screened for psychiatric health. The self-ratable State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, which enables anxiety to be quantified as a...
