Popis: Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene (Val66Met, rs6265, G>A) polymorphism and breast cancer (BC) among females of Southern Pakistan. Methods: This case-control study consisted of 300 females (BC cases [n = 100] and controls [n = 200]) with age range of 18 to 45 years. All participants were recruited during January to December 2014 and were screened for depression using Zung depression scale. Isolation of genomic DNA (gDNA) followed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was done. All statistical analysis was carried out on IBM-SPSS version 22 at P -value
