Abstract

Iron deficiency have been found to be linked to sleep disorders. Both genetic and environmental factors are risk factors for skewed iron metabolism, thus sleep disruptions in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within transferrin gene ( TF) rs1049296 C>T, rs3811647 G>A, transferrin receptor gene ( TFR) rs7385804 A>C, and hepcidin antimicrobial peptide gene ( HAMP) rs10421768 A>G in Polish individuals with ASD and their impact on sleep pattern. There were 61 Caucasian participants with ASD and 57 non-ASD controls enrolled. Genotypes were determined by real-time PCR using TaqMan SNP assays. The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to identify sleep disruptions. There were 32 cases (57.14%) with insomnia identified. In the ASD group, the defined counts of genotypes were as follows: TF rs1049296, C/C n = 41 and C/T n = 20; TF rs3811647, G/G n = 22, G/A n = 34, and A/A n = 5; TFR rs7385804, A/A n = 22, A/C n = 29, and C/C n = 10; and HAMP rs10421768, A/A n = 34, A/G n = 23, and G/G n = 4. There were no homozygous carriers of the TF rs1049296 C>T minor allele in the ASD group. All analyzed SNPs were not found to be linked to insomnia. The investigated polymorphisms are not predictors of sleep disorders in the analyzed cohort of individuals with ASD.
