Mendelian randomization analysis indicated that elevated levels of TGFBI (OR = 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01–1.02) and PAM ((OR = 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01–1.02) in plasma are associated with an increased risk of insomnia, with external validation supporting these findings. This evidence concerns the gene TGFBI and insomnia measurement.
