CLOCK

You carry one copy of the ‘G’ risk allele for the SNP rs1801260, which is a part of the CLOCK gene. Your genotype for this SNP (‘AG’; heterozygous) is associated with poorer functioning of this gene, suggesting that you have a moderately elevated risk of experiencing seasonal mood problems [source 1].

Reduced activity of the CLOCK gene makes it harder for your body and brain to fine-tune your circadian rhythm. This can disrupt a wide variety of bodily processes (such as appetite and sleep),
