Polymorphisms in the 5-HTR2A gene related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome Polimorfismos no gene HTR2A relacionados à síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is one of the most complex disorders of sleep; it involves several genetic factors that contribute to the phenotype.
