Variation in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene is associated with symptoms of depression.

Journal of affective disorders - 1 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is putatively involved in the pathophysiology of depression. This study examined associations between BDNF genotype at the Val66Met locus, depression symptoms, and serum BDNF levels. METHODS: Twenty-eight subjects in the primary study (25 female, 3 male) completed diagnostic interviews, self-report questionnaires, and provided blood samples for serum BDNF...
