Title: Question about the role of genes in CH.
Post by CJohnson on Apr 3^rd, 2003, 10:09am

Is there any information regarding the role of genes and CH? According to an article I read (from Jan. 2001), a gene which controls circadean rhythm had been pinpointed. Furthur, a mutation of that gene was reported to be responsible for a certain kind of sleeping disorder.
I found this intriguing, and wondered if there was any talk or research which directly related to gene mutation/activation/whatever genes do (I have no idea how genes work) and CH.

Have heard this question a mazillion times.

If you go to the OUCH site I am relatively sure a survey was conducted pertaining to your question.

I personally have no clinical/medical knowledge to offer you other tha if you wear tight Levis you might get a headache. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO FEMALES.
