Abstract

The frequency of women with the rare CRY1 TT genotype was 17.0% among rotating night shift workers compared to 13.9% among day workers.

  • No significant differences were found in the genotypes of BMAL1, CLOCK, CRY2, PER1, PER2, and PER3 between rotating night and day workers.
  • The CRY1 TT genotype was more common in rotating night shift workers, with a P-value of 0.06.
  • The CRY1 TT genotype may be associated with the total duration of rotating shift work among women.
