Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence suggests a role for nerve growth factor (NGFB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and their receptors, nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), and neurotrophin tyrosine kinase receptors 1 and 2 (NTRK1 and NTRK2), in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, genetic association between the neurotrophin system genes and AD has been poorly investigated. We genotyped 21 single nucleotide...
