| Abstract | Some authors have reported an association of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism with suicidal behavior and/or clinical aspects of suicidal attempts. We evaluated, here, the impact of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism on the clinical characteristics of suicide attempts. The study was conducted on a cohort of 120 consecutive patients who were admitted to the Emergency Hospital of Porto Alegre, Brazil, due to a suicide attempt. Variables of univariate analyses were included in a logistic regression model to test whether the risk factors had independent effect. In univariate analyses, sex, BDNF genotype, intent and method of suicide attempt were all risk factors for high lethality in suicide attempts. After logistic regression analysis, male sex (O.R.=3.03; 95% C.I=1.34-6.84; 0.008) and the presence of BDNF 66Met allele (O.R.=2.62; 95% C.I=1.04-6.57; 0.04) were significantly and independently associated with the high lethality in suicide attempts. The present study showed that BDNF 66Met allele is an independent predictor of high lethality in suicide attempts of depressed patients. This finding is important because it might allow earlier identification of patients at high risk for suicide, perhaps providing better tools for clinical care of these patients in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
