Characterizing the role of brain derived neurotrophic factor genetic variation in Alzheimer's disease neurodegeneration.

There is accumulating evidence that neurotrophins, like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), may impact aging and Alzheimer's Disease. However, traditional genetic association studies have not found a clear relationship between BDNF and AD. Our goal was to test whether BDNF single nucleoti...
