Description	Introduction: Recent studies have demonstrated a tight relationship between circadian rhythmicity and the development of obesity and its related traits. In this study, we investigated possible associations of the VNTR polymorphism in the Per3 gene with obesity-related anthropometric traits and behavioral patterns.This is the first study to investigate the relationship between VNTR polymorphism in Per3 gene and behavioral patterns of the food intake in humans; VNTR seems to influence rather the qualitative dietary structure than the time patterns of food intake.
