BDNF Raw DNA Analysis & Clinical Evidence

Evidence-graded analysis of BDNF rs6265 neurotrophic factor and exercise-induced focus in browser memory.

Analyze your BDNF variants locally in your browser

Drop your raw 23andMe or AncestryDNA file into Verinome. It is parsed locally in your browser, so your raw file never uploads. To build the full report, only about 200 marker readouts (a few kilobytes, never your file and never your name) are checked. Educational and evidence-graded, not a diagnosis, bring anything clinical to your own clinician.

Published Evidence & Guideline Context for BDNF

rs6265 · TRAIT
Grade C Genotype CC:

The common version. You carry no copies of the BDNF 'Met' variant that has been studied in memory and stress research.

Source: Egan MF et al. 2003, Cell 112:257, PMID 12553913 (Val66Met affects activity-dependent BDNF secretion and human memory)

Grade C Genotype CT:

You carry one copy of the BDNF 'Met' variant. It slightly changes how a brain-growth protein is released. Any effect on memory or stress is small and the science is mixed.

Source: Egan MF et al. 2003, Cell 112:257, PMID 12553913

Grade C Genotype TT:

You carry two copies of the BDNF 'Met' variant. Studied in memory and mood research, but effects are small and not reliably reproduced.
