Despite a significant genetic component to insomnia (heritability: 22-25%), the genetic loci that modulate insomnia risk remain limited. We employed the Unified Test for Molecular Markers (UTMOST) for transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) across various tissues, integrating summary statistics from a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) of 462,341 European participants with gene expression data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. Three validation methods (FUSION, FOCUS, and MAGMA) were used to confirm important genes.

Vaginitis is the most common problem afflicting women of childbearing age. However, the underlying etiological factors remain poorly understood, leading to recurrent vaginitis and constraining clinical management. Here, we explored whether the gut microbiota influences the risk of vaginitis by performing a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using the largest genome-wide association studies to date.

. Previous observational studies have provided inconsistent evidence for the association between serum iron status and the risk of gout. Moreover, it remains uncertain whether the observed association is causal or due to confounding or reverse causality.

Background: Ovarian cancer is a lethal female cancer with a rising incidence that is often diagnosed late due to a lack of symptoms, affecting survival and quality of life. Studies suggest that dietary factors, especially the levels of branched-chain amino acids such as valine, may influence its development. While valine is essential for metabolism, its specific role in ovarian cancer remains unclear, necessitating further research.

Externalizing traits and behaviors are broadly defined by impairments in self-regulation and impulse control that typically begin in childhood and adolescence. Externalizing behaviors, traits, and symptoms span a range of traditional psychiatric diagnostic categories. In this study, we sought to generate an algorithm that could reliably identify transdiagnostic childhood-onset externalizing cases and controls within a university hospital electronic health record (EHR) database.
