Thus, another aim of this study was to explore the potential association between insomnia with short sleep duration and several laboratory parameters (erythrocytes, haemoglobin, haematocrit, erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV), leukocytes, thrombocytes, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (γGT), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)) that are routinely assessed in our sleep disorders centre. The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is insomnia.
