Brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene polymorphisms, neurotransmitter levels, and depressive symptoms in an elderly population.

Age (Dordrecht, Netherlands) - 1 Dec 2012

Czira Maria E, Wersching Heike, Baune Bernhard T, Berger Klaus

Abstract excerpt

A large number of studies have examined associations between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphisms and depressive symptoms. However, results still remain controversial. Recent studies suggested a significant age and gender effect on the heritability of depression. The potential neurobiological pathways that could possibly mediate this relationship have not been examined so far. Since BDNF is...
