A genome-wide association study of tinnitus reveals shared genetic links to neuropsychiatric disorders - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36581688
ABSTRACT: Tinnitus, a phantom perception of sound in the absence of any external sound source, is a prevalent health condition often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) highlighted a polygenic nature of tinnitus susceptibility. A shared genetic component between tinnitus and psychiatric conditions remains elusive. Here we present a GWAS using the UK Biobank to investigate the genetic processes linked to tinnitus and tinnitus-related distress, followed by gene-set enrichment analyses. The UK Biobank sample comprised 132,438 individuals with tinnitus and genotype data. Among the study sample, 38,525 individuals reported tinnitus, and 26,889 participants mentioned they experienced tinnitus-related distress in daily living. The genome-wide as
