Insomnia is a heritable, highly prevalent sleep disorder for which no sufficient treatment currently exists. Previous genome-wide association studies with up to 1.3 million subjects identified over 200 associated loci. This extreme polygenicity suggested that many more loci remain to be discovered. The current study almost doubled the sample size to 593,724 cases and 1,771,286 controls, thereby increasing statistical power, and identified 554 risk loci (including 364 novel loci). To capitalize on this large number of loci, we propose a novel strategy to prioritize genes using external biological resources and functional interactions between genes across risk loci. Of all 3,898 genes naively implicated from the risk loci, we prioritize 289 and find brain-tissue expression spec

Discuss with your doctor
-
genetic predisposition to insomnia and management options Moderate
Strong genetic association with insomnia risk (GWAS p=2e-10, n=1.2M)
Lifestyle
-
sleep hygiene optimization Moderate
BTBD9 risk variant associated with increased insomnia susceptibility (GWAS)
Establish consistent sleep-wake schedule, optimize sleep environment (dark, cool, quiet), avoid screens 1 hour before bed
Screening
-
sleep quality and insomnia symptoms Moderate
Genetic predisposition to insomnia via BTBD9 variant (GWAS p=2e-10)
Track sleep duration, quality, and daytime sleepiness regularly; consider Insomnia Severity Index screening
