What is the CLOCK gene?
Circadian rhythm timing architecture.
How CLOCK affects metabolism
When CLOCK-related support is weaker, serotonin signaling and turnover may be easier to destabilize under stress or poor recovery can become more relevant to validate.
What happens when CLOCK is altered
Altered CLOCK function does not guarantee a problem, but it can reduce how efficiently this system handles routine demand.
Tracked SNPs used for CLOCK
Circadian rhythm timing architecture.
The directional notes below are shared between the public gene pages and the tracked SNP report so the same SNP list drives both surfaces.

This gene is included under the Sleep / circadian regulation section in the sample SNP → gene → pathway report. You can jump directly to the gene block and compare the tracked SNP layout with this public gene page.
Open CLOCK in the sample report| SNP | Alias | Why it is tracked | Effect allele | Directional note | Confidence | Linked pathway |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| rs74047634 | CLOCK primary signal | Tracked CLOCK variant for sleep / circadian regulation coverage expansion. | A | Lower serotonin-balance support when CLOCK is interpreted in serotonin balance. | moderate | Serotonin balance, Sleep / circadian regulation |
| rs74047635 | CLOCK supporting signal | Tracked CLOCK variant for sleep / circadian regulation coverage expansion. | C | Lower serotonin-balance support when CLOCK is interpreted in serotonin balance. | low | Serotonin balance, Sleep / circadian regulation |
| rs74047636 | CLOCK context signal | Tracked CLOCK variant for sleep / circadian regulation coverage expansion. | G | Tracked for completeness inside sleep / circadian regulation review. | low | Sleep / circadian regulation |
Common symptoms people report
- serotonin balance strain showing up in everyday symptoms
- greater mismatch between habits and response
- recurrent patterns that look more stubborn than generic advice predicts
Biomarkers to validate
Sleep quality
Useful for validating CLOCK inside serotonin balance.
stress reactivity
Useful for validating CLOCK inside serotonin balance.
Where DNA analysis helps
DNA helps decide whether CLOCK belongs near the top of the pathway explanation or stays in background context.
Example Insight
CLOCK becomes more meaningful when the surrounding serotonin balance genes and biomarkers point in the same direction.
Sleep quality
What to do next
- Start with Sleep quality.
- Interpret CLOCK together with the rest of serotonin balance, not in isolation.
