rs5751876

rs5751876 is a variant in the ADORA2A gene, which encodes the adenosine A2A receptor that caffeine blocks in the brain to produce its stimulant effects. The C allele has been associated with a blunted anxiogenic and sleep-disrupting response to caffeine, while T-allele carriers, particularly T/T homozygotes, tend to report greater caffeine-induced jitteriness, nervousness, and sleep disruption after evening caffeine intake. It is the marker used here for caffeine sensitivity, describing tendencies toward caffeine's effects on sleep and jitters.
