Abstract excerpt

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) enhances survival of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, whereas in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), the expression of BDNF mRNA is decreased, thus making BDNF a candidate gene for PD susceptibility. The association between BDNF Val66Met polymorphism and PD has been evaluated in several studies with controversial results. Thus, we determined the...
