The Prevalence of the Val66Met Polymorphism in Musicians: Possible Evidence for Compensatory Neuroplasticity from a pilot study
2020-12-23
Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that MET carriers may express deficits in motor learning and neuroplasticity, possibly deterring musicianship. Here, we compared the prevalence of the Val66Met Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor single nucleotide polymorphism (rs6265) in a sample of musicians (N=50) and an ethnically matched subset from the 1000 Human Genome Project (N-424). We report no differences in genotype or allele freque...
