Article Synopsis
- Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition affecting about 1.78% of the population, predominantly women, leading to pain, fatigue, and mental health issues that significantly reduce quality of life.
- This study analyzed the effects of drug use on mental health in female fibromyalgia patients, using a large sample and logistic regression to assess the impacts of various medications on cognitive and mental health symptoms.
- Results showed that commonly used medications like benzodiazepines and SSRIs are often ineffective or even harmful, highlighting the need for better pharmacological management in fibromyalgia treatment.*
It has been suggested that the rs3749474T/rs4864548A haplotype of the CLOCK gene increases the risk of obesity, but the population variability of these alleles and the haplotype is unknown. This research aims to determine the linkage between the rs3749474T and rs4864548A alleles from the database of 1000Genomes to confirm the existence of the TA haplotype polymorphisms of these alleles and their frequency in five macro populations. Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype frequencies for 2504 individuals from 26 populations were analyzed using the r statistic and Fisher's exact test.
