摘要
Converging lines of evidence suggest that the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) could be implicated in the neurodevelopmental abnormalities found in schizophrenia brain. BDNF is involved in a variety of trophic and neuromodulatory effects that include an important role in the development and survival of dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons. The authors showed the presence of association between a polymorphism in a promoter region of the BDNF gene and schizophrenia in a family-based linkage disequilibrium study.
