Abstract excerpt
Disturbed circadian rhythms have been a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Melatonin is the major chronobiotic hormone regulating both circadian rhythm and glucose homeostasis. The rs10830963 (G allele) of the melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) gene has the strongest genetic associations with T2DM according to several genome-wide association studies. The MTNR1B rs10830963 G allele is also associated...
