The Period circadian regulator (PER) gene family, including PER1, PER2 and PER3, codes transcriptional repressors which could accurately control biological rhythms. PER1/2 gene was proved to be associated with bone mass and PER1 gene was associated with insulin-like growth factor binding proteins 3...
