Characterizing the Genetic Overlap Between Psychiatric Disorders and Sleep-Related Phenotypes

BackgroundA range of sleep disturbances are commonly experienced by patients with psychiatric disorders, and genome-wide genetic analyses have shown some significant genetic correlations between these traits. Here, we applied novel statistical genetic methodologies to better characterize the potential shared genetic architecture between sleep-related phenotypes and psychiatric disorders.MethodsUsing the MiXeR method, which can estimate polygenic...
