FOXO3 and Alzheimer disease: In this study, BDNF was detected in serum of AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and investigated in association with gene polymorphisms of BDNF (Val66Met and C270T), of some oxidative stress-related genes (FOXO3A, SIRT3, GLO1, and SOD2), and of interleukin-1 family genes (IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-38).
