Association between genetic variants of the clock gene and obesity and sleep duration
Links between clock gene differences, obesity, and sleep length
AI simplified
Abstract
Six CLOCK gene variants are associated with sleep duration.
- Obesity is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors related to lifestyle.
- Reduced sleep is linked to an increased body mass index (BMI).
- Three CLOCK gene variants are associated with energy intake variables.
- Eight common CLOCK gene variants are associated with obesity.
- The most researched CLOCK variant is rs1801260, primarily studied in European populations.
- Identifying at-risk CLOCK genotypes may help determine susceptibility to overeating when sleep is short.
