Aim: To characterize the impact of the Val66Met polymorphism on lithium response in patients with bipolar disorder.
Methods: A systematic literature search of MEDLINE, Web of Science, PsychINFO and Cochrane CENTRAL was conducted from the earliest possible date through to 1 July 2012. The search was performed using the following medical subject headings: bipolar disorder, lithium, lithium carbonate, pharmacogenomics, pharmacogenetics, polymorphism and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Five of 71 identified studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were abstracted using a standardized data abstraction tool. For categorical end points, the pooled odds ratio with 95% CI was calculated. Random effects models were used for analysis.
Results: The Val66Met polymorphism did not predict response to prophylactic lithium in this combined population (odds ratio: 2.67; p = 0.078).
Conclusion: This analysis suggests that the Val66Met polymorphism does not predict response to lithium treatment in bipolar disorder in this combined population. Prospective studies are needed to clearly define the role of Val66Met polymorphism of BDNF in lithium response.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) affects millions of people worldwide. While it is known that OUD originates from many factors, including social and environmental factors, the role of genetic variants in developing the disease has also been reported. This study aims to investigate the genetic variants associated with the risk of developing OUD upon exposure.

Introduction: While numerous studies have established associations between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cognitive functioning, limited research has delved into the role of BDNF concerning cognitive outcomes in atherosclerosis-related conditions. This study aimed to investigate the correlations between cognitive performance, serum BDNF levels, and the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism in individuals diagnosed with chronic limb ischemia (CLI).
Participants And Procedure: The study encompassed 159 CLI patients (52 females, 107 males) aged 59-73 years.

Procedural learning and automatization have widely been studied in behavioral psychology and typically involves a rapid improvement, followed by a plateau in performance throughout repeated training. More recently, brain imaging studies have implicated frontal-striatal brain circuits in skill learning. However, it is largely unknown whether frontal-striatal activation during skill learning and behavioral changes follow a similar learning curve pattern.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. This longitudinal study aimed to explore the connection between two specific genetic polymorphisms, Val66Met and 5-HTTLPR, and the lifetime prevalence of PTSD in patients from primary care settings. We also examined the role of sociodemographic and psychosocial factors to provide a more comprehensive view of PTSD risk.

Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis investigated the link between the Val66Met polymorphism of the BDNF gene and ADHD risk in individuals from mainland China.
- The study analyzed data from various online databases and assessed four different genetic models to explore this association.
- Findings showed no significant correlation between the Val66Met polymorphism and ADHD susceptibility, indicating it does not contribute to the disorder in the studied population.
