OBJETIVO: Revisar resumidamente a literatura dos últimos 36 anos de pesquisa em cronobiologia molecular a fim de informar aos profissionais de saúde os avanços obtidos nesta área e os potenciais para aplicação na clínica médica. MÉTODO: Buscas na literatura foram realizadas utilizando as bases de dados PubMed e Scopus usando como palavras-chave "clock genes, circadian rhythms, diurnal preference, delayed sleep phase syndrome, advanced sleep phase syndrome, photoperiod and mood disorder". DISCUSSÃO: Atualmente, o mecanismo molecular da regulação da ritmicidade circadiana é compreendido em grande detalhe. Muitos estudos publicados mostram associações de polimorfismos nos genes relógio com transtornos do ritmo circadiano e com transtornos do humor. CONCLUSÕES: De maneira geral, o progresso obtido na área de cronobiologia molecular traz um melhor entendimento da regulação do sistema de temporização biológico. O desenvolvimento de estudos nesta área tem o potencial de ser aplicável ao tratamento dos transtornos dos ritmos circadianos e certos transtornos do humor, além de prevenir riscos à saúde causados por viagens intercontinentais (Jet Lag) e por trabalhos noturnos e por turnos.

Delayed Sleep

Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is a circadian rhythm disorder where individuals experience difficulty modifying the time they go to sleep and wake up in response to environmental changes. The circadian rhythm itself is regulated by a variety of clock genes, and various other genes (e.g., AA-NAT gene, CKIϵ gene) code for proteins that regulate clock genes. Various polymorphisms of the clock gene influencers have been shown to increase susceptibility to DSPS. This paper seeks to examine how certain cultural characteristics (e.g., napping, timing of meals, exposure to artificial light) and the presence of the AA-NAT gene (G619A polymorphism) and the CKIϵ gene (S408N polymorphism) influence the prevalence of DSPS amongst Japanese and Brazilian populations.
