Abstract excerpt
PER3 gene polymorphisms have been associated with differences in human sleep-wake phenotypes, and sensitivity to light. The aims of this study were to assess: i) the frequency of allelic variants at two PER3 polymorphic sites (rs57875989 length polymorphism: PER3 4, PER3 5; rs228697 SNP: PER3 C, PER3 G) in relation to sleep-wake timing; ii) the effect of morning light on behavioural/circadian variables in PER3 4...
