A genome‐wide association study of sleep habits and insomnia
AssociationN=4,357Enda M. Byrne et al.(2013)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

Genome-wide association study of 2,323 Australian twins identified several associations with sleep phenotypes including sleep latency, sleep quality, sleep duration, and insomnia, but no genome-wide significant variants. Most notable finding: SNPs in CACNA1C intron 3 (rs7316184, rs7304986, rs7301906, and others) showed strongest association with sleep latency (p = 1.3 × 10⁻⁶), though this did not replicate in independent Chronogen Consortium sample. Additional associations with insomnia factor score (rs11174478 in SLC2A13, p = 1.92 × 10⁻⁶) and sleep duration (rs4780805, p = 2.66 × 10⁻⁶) were identified but remain unreplicated.

About TLN2

This gene encodes a protein related to talin 1, a cytoskeletal protein that plays a significant role in the assembly of actin filaments and in spreading and migration of various cell types, including fibroblasts and osteoclasts. This protein has a different pattern of expression compared to talin 1 but, like talin 1, is thought to associate with unique transmembrane receptors to form novel linkages between extracellular matrices and the actin cytoskeleton.
