Background: Many studies with inconsistent results have assessed the association of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphisms with prevalence of obesity and overweight. This review aims to provide a summary of the literature evaluating the relation between BDNF genotype and body mass index (BMI). Methods: A systematic search through PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, Ovid and Cochrane was performed. We included observational studies with cross-sectional and case-control design, which investigated relationship between all kinds of BDNF polymorphisms with BMI, as a representative index of obesity and overweight. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of included articles. Results: Thirty five studies were included in quantitative synthesis. Analyses were performed separately using OR, b coefficient and mean. Significant association were documented between rs925946 and BMI (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.08-1.17, P heterogeneity = 0.317), rs10501087 and BMI (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.04-1.24, P heterogeneity = 0.861), rs6265 and BMI (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.07-1.19, P heterogeneity = 0.406), rs988712 and BMI (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.18-1.40, P heterogeneity = 0.602). According to pooled b coefficient analysis, significant result was only observed in the rs925946 polymorphism subgroup. Pooled mean analysis showed that overall effects for the association between BDNF polymorphisms and BMI were not statistically significant. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that some polymorphisms in BDNF gene including rs925946, rs10501087, rs6265 and rs988712 can be considered as genetic determinants of obesity.
