BDNF can stimulate glutamate receptors and thus play a role in conditions accompanied by chronic fatigue.
Specific BDNF gene variants have been associated with fatigue and low energy, mostly due to fibromyalgia.
rs11030104 [R]: My Genotype AA
- ‘A’ – associated with relatively higher odds of fatigue due to fibromyalgia
- ‘G’ – associated with lower odds of fatigue due to fibromyalgia
- The ‘A’ allele may be associated with higher BDNF levels and glutamate receptor activity.
rs6265 [R]: My Genetype CC
- ‘C’ – associated with relatively lower energy levels
- ‘T’ – associated with higher energy levels
