Preventing obstructive sleep apnoea thanks to knowledge of your DNA

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleeping disorder in which a person's breathing regularly stops during sleep. The length of time for which breathing stops can vary from 15 to over 30 seconds and this can occur more than five times an hour. Obstructive sleep apnoea is often accompanied by snoring. People who suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea never enter deep sleep, sleep poorly and as a result become tired or even depressive.

Obstructive sleep apnoea and heredity

The risk of obstructive sleep apnoea is determined to some extent by hereditary factors. To date it has been scientifically proven that a number of genes play a role in this. On the basis of your DNA it is therefore possible to see clearly whether you have an increased or reduced risk of obstructive sleep apnoea.
