Abstract

Clock genes play significant roles in the regulation of circadian rhythms, which are thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. We aimed to investigate the association of five gene polymorphisms (PER3 VNTR (rs57875989), PER2 rs2304672, CLOCK rs1801260, CLOCK rs10462028, CLOCK rs11932595) with PCR-based methods as potential risk factors in bipolar disorder (BD). We used a multiple testing methodology in BD patients (n = 121) and healthy control individuals (n = 121) of Turkish descent to analyze the effects of these gene variants both as risk factors for the disorder and for the evaluation of these variants in the patient group with multiple subscales. We evaluated the circadian rhythm disturbances and seasonal variations in mood and behavior in BD patients using the Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN) and Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) to enlighten the possible links between these scores and the studied circadian gene variants. The results of our study revealed significant associations: PER3 VNTR (rs57875989) 5/5 repeat genotype displayed a protective effect against BD when compared with 4/4 repeat genotype. Moreover, patients ...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is characterized by manic and/or depressive episodes and associated with uncommon shifts in mood, activity levels, and energy. Discover the latest research this illness here.
