Fig. 4From: Relevance of polymorphisms in MC4R and BDNF in short normal statureBDNF transcript expression analysis. To analyze the amount of total BDNF mRNA (proBDNF) and the longest mRNA (pre-pro-BDNF isoform, Chr. 11: 27,654,893-27,701,053; ENST00000438929; Ensembl) in the human brain, a cDNA array (Tissue Scan Human Brain Tissue qPCR Array HBRT101, Origene, Rockville, MD USA) was used which comprises 24 different brain tissues, 19 of which were positive for BDNF transcripts (the long and core versions)Back to article page
