PY - 2014 DA - 2014/10/31 TI - Sleep quality, BDNF genotype and gene expression in individuals with chronic abdominal pain JO - BMC Medical Genomics SP - 61 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Sleep quality and genetics may contribute to the etiology of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Individuals with impaired sleep often have a number of associated symptoms including chronic abdominal pain (CAP). The current study examined the interactions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genotype with sleep quality in persons with CAP and healthy controls. In addition, associations among sleep quality, BDNF genotype, and gene expression were explored in the participants.
