Background Sleep apnoea is a disorder characterised by periods of halted breathing during sleep. Despite its association with severe health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, liver problems and metabolic syndrome, the aetiology of sleep apnoea remain understudied, and previous genetic analyses have not identified many robustly associated genetic risk variants.

多性状全基因组关联研究确定了与睡眠呼吸暂停风险相关的新基因座

背景睡眠呼吸暂停是一种以睡眠期间呼吸暂停为特征的疾病。尽管它与心血管疾病、肝脏问题和代谢综合征等严重健康状况有关，但睡眠呼吸暂停的病因仍未得到充分研究，之前的基因分析并未发现许多强有力的相关遗传风险变异。
