rs6265, also known as Val66Met, is a SNP in brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF gene. The more common G allele encodes the Val, while the A allele encodes Met.

The A allele may also be protective against depression when subjected to repeated defeat [PMID 17956738] g2b2mh blog

On a driving-based motor learning task subjects with this genotype showed greater error during short-term learning and poorer retention over 4 days, relative to subjects without the polymorphism. The presence of this BDNF polymorphism is associated with differences in brain motor system function, altered short-term plasticity, and greater error in short-term motor learning. [PMID 19745020 ]

A 2017 study of 1,000 Alzheimer's disease patients, a third of whom were rs6265(A) carriers, concluded that over the ~7 year study such carriers lost memory and thinking skills somewhat more rapidly than non-carriers.10.​1212/​WNL.​0000000000003980
