TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Association study of BDNF with completed suicide in the Japanese population JO - Psychiatry research A1 - Ratta-Apha, Woraphat A1 - Hishimoto, Akitoyo A1 - Yoshida, Masakuni A1 - Ueno, Yasuhiro A1 - Asano, Migiwa A1 - Shirakawa, Osamu A1 - Sora, Ichiro SP - 734 EP - 736 VL - 209 IS - 3 N2 - We explored the association between the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene with suicide using 307 Japanese completed suicides, 380 healthy controls, and data from previously published samples. The meta-analyses of the valine with methionine in codon 66 (Val66Met) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) showed that the Met-allele tended to be associated with attempted suicide in Asian populations, but not with the completed suicide.
