Abstract excerpt
Laboratory and epidemiological studies have shown that short sleep time is associated with obesity. In this study, we conducted a post-GWAS analysis to test genetic correlation between children's sleep and obesity due to linkage disequilibrium (LD) SNPs, shared genes and pathways. Our analysis showed that genetic heritability was 0.14 (p-value = 0.0005) and 0.41 (p-value = 1.18E-24) for children's sleep and...
