«Financial stress is associated with migraine, if you have specific
circadian gene variants.»
What we need to do now is to see if other

As it results in a smaller number of melatonin receptors, the risk
variant of the
gene can cause weaker natural melatonin signalling, one of the regulatory mechanisms in stabilising the
circadian rhythm.
Some sleep disorders may be tied to specific genetic
variants in the
genes underlying the
circadian rhythms, which may lead to new ways of treating those disorders.
In human populations, genome - wide association studies have revealed associations between
variants of the
circadian clock — related
gene Mntr1b, which encodes melatonin receptor 1B, fasting glucose concentrations, and the risk of type 2 diabetes (12 — 14).
