Abstract excerpt
Despite a significant genetic component to insomnia (heritability: 22%-25%), the genetic loci that modulate insomnia risk remain limited. We used the Unified Test for Molecular Markers (UTMOST) for transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) across various tissues, integrating summary statistics from a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) of 462,341 European participants with gene expression data from the...
