Sponsor's own description

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition that affects people of all ages.Recent studies found that epilepsy is associated with several chromosomal regions, where mutations in these regions cause neurological dysfunction. BDNF which is the most ample neurotropic factor in the CNS, has survival and growth promoting roles in a variety of neurons. It has been shown to promote excitatory (glutamatergic) synapses while weakening inhibitory (GABAergic) ones. A nonsynonymous G to A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) exists at position 196 of exon 2 (rs6265), which results in valine (val) to methionine (met) substitution. This polymorphism affects intracellular packaging of pro-BDNF, its axonal transport and in turn, activity-dependent secretion of BDNF at the synapse.
