Abstract excerpt
Melatonin regulates circadian rhythms, metabolism, and immunity. Its primary metabolite, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), is a biomarker linked to cancer risk and metabolic disorders. However, genetic determinants of aMT6s remain poorly understood, with only one prior GWAS limited to an East Asian cohort. We conducted the first multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of urinary aMT6s, integrating 11,744...
