Objective: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophin which performs its activity through neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptors, is one of the candidate genes for epilepsy. Our aim is to investigate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphisms as an candidate gene in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
