The CLOCK Gene and Circadian Rhythm
Individuals with an unfavorable genotype for the CLOCK gene, such as the risk allele for SNP rs1801260, may experience various signs and symptoms related to disrupted circadian rhythms. One common symptom is sleep disturbances, which can include difficulty falling...
APOE
APOE (Apolipoprotein E) is a protein involved in the transport and metabolism of lipids (such as cholesterol) in the body. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of lipid homeostasis and the maintenance of healthy brain function. In the context of nutrigenomics, APOE genotype has gained significant attention due to its influence on individual responses to dietary factors.
The TAS2R38 gene
TAS2R38 codes for a taste receptor protein located on taste buds, specifically involved in perceiving bitter tastes. Genetic variations in the TAS2R38 gene result in different forms of the receptor protein, leading to variations in an individual's ability to taste...
