A pilot replication study of two PER3 single nucleotide polymorphisms as potential genetic markers for morning and evening earliness-lateness

Polymorphisms in genes of circadian system family seem to be of most importance for understanding of mechanisms underlying self-assessed individual variation in morning–evening preference. A review of earlier reported positive findings indicated that, at least, four polymorphisms in period circadian clock 3 (PER3) showed significant association with, at least, one of sub-constructs of a morningness–eveningness scale. However, similar to other...
