Genes affected
BDNF (HGNC:1033): (brain derived neurotrophic factor) This gene encodes a member of the nerve growth factor family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. Binding of this protein to its cognate receptor promotes neuronal survival in the adult brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease patients. This gene may play a role in the regulation of the stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
BDNF-AS (HGNC:20608): (BDNF antisense RNA)

BDNF-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMay 09, 2023The BDNF c.251C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr84Asn. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-27680107-G-T), which is higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in this gene. An alternate change at the same amino acid position was initially documented in association with central hypoventilation syndrome (p.Thr84Ile, documented in the literature on an alternate transcript – NM_001709.5 p.Thr2Ile; Weese-Mayer et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11840487; Friedel et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15457498). However, it has an even higher allele frequency than the p.Thr84Asn change, and its pathogenicity was called into question by multiple later reports (Abouelhoda et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27884173; Rego et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30487145). Although we suspect that the c.251C>A (p.Thr84Asn) variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
