Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recent evidence has linked circadian rhythm dysregulation to an increased risk of metabolic disorders. This study explores a potential association between variation in genes regulating the endogenous circadian timing system (clock genes) and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a sample of Greek elderly people. STUDY DESIGN: Variants within and upstream or downstream of PPARA, PPARD, CLOCK/TMEM165,...
