  • Genome-wide analysis of insomnia in 1,331,010 individuals identifies new risk loci and functional pathways. - Nature genetics (2019) · Jansen PR, Watanabe K, Stringer S, Skene N, Bryois J, Hammerschlag AR, de Leeuw CA, Benjamins JS, Muñoz-Manchado AB, Nagel M, Savage JE, Tiemeier H, White T, Tung JY, Hinds DA, Vacic V, Wang X, Sullivan PF, van der Sluis S, Polderman TJC, Smit AB, Hjerling-Leffler J, Van Someren EJW, Posthuma D · PubMed 30804565

    Insomnia is the second most prevalent mental disorder, with no sufficient treatment available. Despite substantial heritability, insight into the associated genes and neurobiological pathways remains limited. Here, we use a large genetic association sample (n = 1,331,010) to detect novel loci and gain insight into the pathways, tissue and cell types involved in insomnia complaints. We identify 202 loci implicating 956 genes through positional, expression quantitative trait loci, and chromatin mapping. The meta-analysis explained 2.6% of the variance. We show gene set enrichments for the axonal part of neurons, cortical and subcortical tissues, and specific cell types, including striatal, hypothalamic, and claustrum neurons. We found considerable genetic correlations with psychiatric tr

    ABSTRACT: Insomnia is a common disorder linked with adverse long-term medical and psychiatric outcomes. The underlying pathophysiological processes and causal relationships of insomnia with disease are poorly understood. Here we identify 57 loci for self-reported insomnia symptoms in the UK Biobank (n = 453,379) and confirm their impact on self-reported insomnia symptoms in the HUNT study (n = 14,923 cases, 47,610 controls), physician-diagnosed insomnia in Partners Biobank (n = 2,217 cases, 14,240 controls), and accelerometer-derived measures of sleep efficiency and sleep duration in the UK Biobank (n = 83,726). Our results suggest enrichment of genes involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and of genes expressed in multiple brain regions, skeletal muscle, and adrenal gland. Evidence of

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Discuss genetic insomnia predisposition with healthcare provider Moderate

    Known genetic risk allows earlier intervention; clinical discussion enables tailored sleep management strategy

    Share this finding at next visit; discuss preventive or early-intervention approaches if sleep issues emerge

Screening

  • Screen for insomnia symptoms Moderate

    C allele associated with 5-6% increased insomnia odds across populations; genetic predisposition warrants clinical awareness

    Assess sleep quality regularly; report persistent sleep difficulties to healthcare provider
