Abstract excerpt
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism has previously been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related cognitive impairment. We aimed to determine the relationship between BDNF Val66Met and beta-amyloid (Aβ) on cognitive decline, hippocampal atrophy, and Aβ accumulation over 36 months in 165 healthy adults enrolled in the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle study. In healthy...
