He may have suffered a concussion during a game and may be ready to come back by the next game. Another player who suffers a similar injury may not be able to play for a few months. Why would there be such a difference in how the two players recover? According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/2014\/02\/27\/differences-in-single-gene-may-influence-recovery-from-traumatic-brain-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Illinois study<\/a>, the answer may reside in a single gene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, researchers studied the reaction of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene and found that it could play a significant part in the formation of new neurons in the brain, which helps in the recovery from traumatic brain injuries. A BDNF gene has two polymorphisms in it. The researchers found that if a person has a particular combination of polymorphisms, it would signal that a person would be more sensitive to brain injuries compared to another person who has a different polymorphic combination.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/how-recovery-predictions-can-be-made-for-brain-injuries\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading How recovery predictions can be made for brain injuries\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a number of our posts we have highlighted how different brain injuries must be diagnosed and treated differently.
