Genes That Influence the Body’s Internal Clock

AI simplified

Abstract

Polymorphisms in core clock genes may contribute to individual differences in circadian rhythm expression.

  • Core clock genes form a feedback loop that regulates gene transcription and translation.
  • The genetic clockwork generates circadian rhythms in various cells throughout the body.
  • Individual variations in circadian rhythms are linked to differences in genetic makeup.
  • The circadian clock influences gene expression patterns and cellular functions.
  • Genetic factors related to circadian rhythms may play a role in normal physiological processes and disease development.
