Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Association studies of the Val66Met polymorphism and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels have yielded conflicting results. Recently, sex-specific differences in BDNF levels were demonstrated. As these might explain the reported inconsistencies, we tested sex interactions with the Val66Met genotype on serum BDNF level. METHODS: Participants (n = 548, age range 50-72 years; mean 62.8 ±...
