Phenotypic effects of genetic variability in human clock genes on circadian and sleep parameters.
Journal of genetics - 1 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt
Circadian rhythms and sleep are two separate but intimately related processes. Circadian rhythms are generated through the precisely controlled, cyclic expression of a number of genes designated clock genes. Genetic variability in these genes has been associated with a number of phenotypic differences in circadian as well as sleep parameters, both in mouse models and in humans. Diurnal preferences as determined...
