Genetic variants affect diurnal glucose levels throughout the day

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with diurnal glucose levels and their role in type 2 diabetes risk.

Genome-wide association analysis of composite sleep health scores in 413,904 individuals

This study performs genome-wide association analysis on composite sleep health scores, identifying 28 novel loci and confirming 341 previously reported loci, with insights into genetic mechanisms and pathways.

Multi-ancestry genome-wide analysis identifies common genetic variants for self-reported sleep duration and shared genetic effects

The paper identifies common genetic variants for sleep duration across multiple ancestries and finds shared genetic effects in diverse populations.

Genetic determinants of daytime napping and effects on cardiometabolic health

This study identifies genetic loci associated with daytime napping and finds potential causal links between napping and cardiometabolic traits.

Genome-wide association analysis of excessive daytime sleepiness identifies 42 loci that suggest phenotypic subgroups

This study identifies 42 genetic loci associated with excessive daytime sleepiness and links them to phenotypic subgroups and related traits.

Factors associated with sharing email information and mental health survey participation in two large population cohorts

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with email contact and mental health survey participation in two cohorts, finding genetic correlations with education, health, and psychological distress.

Multi-trait genome-wide association meta-analysis of dietary intake identifies new loci and genetic and functional links with metabolic traits

This study identifies 96 genome-wide significant loci associated with dietary intake variation using a multi-trait GWAS meta-analysis across 283,119 individuals.

GWAS in 446,118 European adults identifies 78 genetic loci for self-reported habitual sleep duration supported by accelerometer-derived estimates

Biological and clinical insights from genetics of insomnia symptoms

The paper identifies 57 genomic regions associated with insomnia symptoms, linking them to phototransduction, ubiquitination, and potential causal relationships with coronary heart disease and depression.

Genetic studies of accelerometer-based sleep measures in 85,670 individuals yield new insights into human sleep behaviour

This study identifies 47 genetic associations with sleep traits using accelerometer data from 85,670 individuals, including novel variants for sleep quality and duration.

Genome-wide association analyses of chronotype in 697,828 individuals provides new insights into circadian rhythms in humans and links to disease

This study identifies 351 new genetic loci associated with chronotype using data from 697,828 individuals and links them to circadian biology and disease.

Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of 130,664 major depression cases and 330,470 controls identifies 44 independent risk loci enriched in cortical neurons, conserved mammalian regions, splicing networks, and antidepressant targets.
