BDNF Val66Met and cognition: all, none, or some? A meta-analysis of the genetic association.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Mar 2012

Mandelman S D, Grigorenko E L

Abstract excerpt

The Val66Met, G196A (rs6265) polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene, BDNF, located at 11p13, has been associated with a wide range of cognitive functions. Yet, the pattern of results is complex and conflicting. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis that included 23 publications containing 31 independent samples comprised of 7095 individuals. The phenotypes that were examined in this...
