Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphism and bipolar disorder.
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms rs6265 and rs11030101 in BDNF gene were detected and compared between 228 patients with bipolar disorder and 361 healthy controls.
Results: The genotypes, alleles and combinative genotype of BDNF gene single nucleotide polymorphism rs6265 and rs11030101 did not show significant differences between two groups. There were also no significant differences in genotypes and combinative genotypes between diagnostic subtypes, genders and on-set age of bipolar disorder and controls.
Conclusion: This study did not found that BDNF gene single nucleotide polymorphism rs6265 and rs11030101 are associated with bipolar disorders.
