Özet

Obesity represents a major risk factor for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) affects the mechanisms that regulate weight, eating behavior, and metabolism. This project aims to investigate the possible association of BDNF gene polymorphism with obesity and OSAS, and to contribute knowledge to the understanding of the pathophysiology of OSAS.
