0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE The current study examined potential association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the BDNF gene (G11757 C, C270T, G196A, G-712A) and Alzheimer's disease-related depression (AD-D). 21677379 2011
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE The gene variants of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism were significantly associated with the presence of psychotic symptoms in male, but not in female patients with AD. 21044653 2011
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE These findings suggest that the functional BDNF Val66Met variant is not a major determinant of rate of cognitive decline in AD. 16627933 2006
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE These results suggest that the <i>BDNF</i> Val66Met polymorphism may play an important role in cognitive decline and could be considered as a target for novel AD therapeutics. 28468845 2017
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE This meta-analysis confirmed the gender-related association between BDNF 196A/G polymorphism and AD risk, which may indicate a certain effect of female hormone on progression of the disease. 24279351 2014
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE This variant and two previously reported BDNF SNPs (C270T and Val66Met) were genotyped in 295 patients with AD, 108 with AFDs, 96 with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 84 with schizophrenia, 327 with alcohol and/or drug dependence, and 250 normal control subjects. 16649215 2006
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE To date, there have been several conflicting reports on the correlation between AD or PD and Val66Met or C270T polymorphism in the BDNF promoter region, although no data on this relationship have been published with respect to dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). 16899999 2006
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE To determine whether the BDNF Val66Met gene variant interacts with age to predict brain and cognitive measures in healthy volunteers across the adult lifespan in an intermediate phenotype pattern related to AD by examining (1) cortical thickness, (2) fractional anisotropy of white matter tracts (ie, white matter integrity), and (3) episodic memory performance. 21300947 2011
Alzheimer's Disease
CUI: C0002395
