Are variations in whole blood BDNF level associated with the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism in patients with first episode depression?

Psychiatry research - 30 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) seems to play an important role in the pathophysiology of affective disorders. The current study investigated whether blood level BDNF is correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms and recent (six months prior to onset of depression) experience of stressful life events (SLE) in a cohort of patients with a first depressive episode. 262 patients with first episode...
