Association of BMAL1, CLOCK, and CRY1 gene polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome and glycemic phenotypes: a case-control study in a Turkish population.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprises cardiometabolic abnormalities that elevate the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Growing evidence links circadian rhythm disruption to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and MetS. This study investigated functional polymorphisms in circadian rhythm-related genes and t...
