摘要: Sleep is an essential behavior, yet much of its underlying functions are still unknown. The disruption sleep can led to a variety health consequences. Family and twin studies have together shown that genetic factors underlie variation in characteristics disorders. Given the importance our well-being, understanding both prevention treatment these Recently, genome-wide association (GWAS) helped provide evidence associations known novel variants with This review outlines findings from GWAS for number disorders, including insomnia, restless leg syndrome, obstructive apnea, narcolepsy, discusses context supporting independent methodologies. Finally, limitations approaches outlined, along future directions genetics post-GWAS era.
