Show abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common, heritable disorder with diverse clinical presentations and etiologies. We conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 492,107 individuals, including 46,028 OSA cases, identifying 14 genome-wide significant loci, eight of which are novel. Analyses adjusting for body mass index (BMI) revealed three loci independent of obesity, implicating alternative biological pathways contributing to disease. Integrative functional analyses, including chromatin interaction mapping, fine-mapping, and eQTL colocalization, prioritized candidate effector genes. Notably, implicated genes in chondrocytes were associated with craniofacial morphology in both mouse and human multivariate genotype-phenotype mapping, supporting a role for craniofacial structure in OSA risk. These findings highlight key genetic pathways (obesity-related, neurological, and craniofacial) underlying the development of OSA, offering new insights into its complex etiology.
