Accumulating studies demonstrate that neurotrophins may play a crucial role in a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, little data are available regarding the potential role of neurotrophins in language disorder (LD). This study aimed to investigate serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin-3 (NTF3) levels in preschool children with LD.
