Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sleep traits, including sleep apnoea (SA), insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and snoring, frequently co-occur with cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), with shared genetic factors suspected to underlie these associations. However, the contribution of shared genetic determinants to these associations is not fully understood. METHODS: We conducted a genome-wide pleiotropic association study applying sequential...
