I just came across this one and I know many of us struggle with sleep disturbances. I'm just curious if we can gather some SNP info and see if this gene / SNPs could also be markers or thy just might be comorbid (I think that is the term). This is just a thread for those wanting to contribute to researching CLOCK genes/SNPs and see if there is a correlation to our experiences. Disclaimer, I'm no expert so take any info provided on thread as is, not claiming it is correct.
I stumbled on the CLOCK gene (isnt that a cute name for gene potentially associated with sleep issues)
in this study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3044192/
Here are two SNPs discussed, let me know if you find anymore that seem relevant. Post your results if you want to share.
CLOCK rs3749474 Risk allele (C), I'm CC
CLOCK rs3736544 risk allele (A), I'm AG (note T=A ifusing 23andME which I am)
