The tenth webinar in The genetics of… series. In this webinar, we will explore sleep as a phenotype, the genetic influences that govern normal circadian rhythm and the molecular mechanisms in disordered sleep patterns. On average we spend 26 years of our lives asleep, but it is not without its complexities. Sleep disorders can cause significant knock-on effects on executive functioning, mental health and memory.
During this webinar you will:
Understand the normal sleep pattern, including the different phases and stages that underlie circadian rhythm
Learn how molecular factors can determine how we sleep through influencing chronotype
Gain insight into the role genetics plays in the development of sleep disorders
Join us on this webinar to find more about how sleep is a cerebral function under strong genetic control. This webinar is in association with the RSM Sleep Medicine Section.
The genetics of… series has been developed following feedback from delegates. Presented by the Medical Genetics section of the Royal Society of Medicine, this series of talks will focus on the role of genetics in different areas of health and well-being.
A CPD certificate with 1 CPD credit will be issued to those joining each webinar live and will be automatically issued after 7 days to those who watched the webinar live in its entirety. Those who watch the webinar on-demand will receive a CPD certificate 30 days after the webinar has gone live.

The seventh webinar in The genetics of… series. In this webinar, participants will have the chance to recognise the arguments for and against the role of genetics in addictive behaviour. Leaders in their fields will engage in a discussion to explore the role of DNA in driving addiction and to consider how epigenetic factors display the interplay of nature versus nurture.
The eighth webinar in The genetics of… series. This unique and exciting webinar will allow participants to explore studies of ancient DNA and understand how it can inform us about the health of our species today. We have an unmissable chance to hear from specialists in the field blazing trails and harnessing key messages hidden within the genetics of our predecessors.
The ninth webinar in The genetics of… series. Join us for this webinar which will bring together three world-renowned scientists, each offering unique insights into the role of extrachromosomal DNA in cancer. There will be an opportunity to ask our panel of experts questions on this recently emerging field of cancer genomics.
Registration for this webinar will close 2 hours prior to the start time. You will receive the webinar link 2 hours before the meeting. Late registrations will not be accepted.
