Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Our recent work reported that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is negatively correlated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in patients with schizophrenia. A previous study has shown that TNF-α could regulate the extracellular secretion of BDNF. Therefore, we hypothesized that the TNF-α gene (TNF-α) may interact with the BDNF gene (BDNF) to influence schizophrenia risk. METHODS: We recruited...
