## Abstract The Met66 allele of the Val66Met polymorphism in the brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene has been reported to be associated with anorexia nervosa (AN), and also lower minimum body mass index (BMI) and higher harm avoidance in AN. We genotyped the Val66Met polymorphism (rs6265)

## Abstract A functional polymorphism of the brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene (Val66Met) has been associated with the risk for schizophrenia and volume differences in the hippocampus. However, little is known about the association between progressive brain volume change in schizophreni
## Abstract Recent studies have indicated that the brainβderived neurotrophic factor (__BDNF__) gene is involved in the etiology of bipolar disorder (BPD). Two familyβbased association studies showed that the Val allele of the functional polymorphism Val66Met in the __BDNF__ gene is associated with
