Article: Research from University Federal of Sao Paulo has provided new data on sleep disorders.

Researchers detail in 'Casein kinase I epsilon (CKIvarepsilon) N408 allele is very rare in the Brazilian population and is not involved in susceptibility to circadian rhythm sleep disorders,' new data in sleep disorders. According to recent research from Brazil, "Circadian rhythms are regulated by clock proteins through post-translational modifications. Indeed, Casein kinase I epsilon (CKIvarepsilon) promotes reversible phosphorylation of PER proteins, and a deficiency in this phosphorylation has been implicated in human sleep disorders."

"Here, we investigated the CKIvarepsilon S408N polymorphism in a Brazilian population sample. The N408 allele was previously ...
