Abstract Introduction and Aims Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of
dementia with a complex genetic background. The cause of sporadic AD (sAD) remains …

Background Loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons is attributable to the proapoptotic
signaling induced by nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) and may link to Alzheimer's …

Background: Some polymorphisms of the neurotrophin family have previously been
investigated as candidate genes for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, we …

The complex network of neurotrophic factors is proposed to play a role in
neurodegeneration, but the effect of variations in their coding genes on susceptibility to …

Increasing evidence suggests a role for nerve growth factor (NGFB), brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and their receptors, nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), and …

Background The association between polymorphisms rs6265 and rs2030324 in brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been widely reported …

Epidemiological studies have evaluated the associations between brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) 196A/G gene polymorphism and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk …

Because of its implications in neuroprotection, formation of long lasting memories and a
disturbed function in Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurotrophin-3 (NTF-3) may represent an …

Abstract The Neuregulin 3 (NRG3) gene at 10q22–q24 has been implicated in multiple
psychiatric traits such as cognitive impairment. We therefore hypothesized that NRG3 gene …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease influenced by
genetic and environmental factors. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an …
