Various studies suggested that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphisms contributed to the development of many neurological disorders. However, whether BDNF Val66Met polymorphism is associated with epilepsy remains controversial. In our study, we tried to investigate the effects of this functional polymorphism on the occurrence of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and its clinical phenotypes....
