The instrumental variables for insomnia were derived from the largest genome-wide association study of 1,331,010 participants, while the genetic instruments for migraine were available from the largest meta-analysis of migraine with 59,674 cases and 316,078 controls.Results: In case–control study, subjects with insomnia have significantly higher risk of migraine (OR=4.29, 95% CI: 3.21– 5.74, P< 0.001), compared with those without insomnia. The bidirectional two-sample MR analysis revealed that insomnia was significantly associated with higher risk of migraine (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.11– 1.38, P=1.01× 10-4), and the results were validated in the UK Biobank data. The results showed no indication for directional pleiotropy effects as assessed by the MR-Egger intercept (P> 0.05).Conclusion: Conclusively, our study highlighted that increased migraine risk was confined to subjects with a genetic pre-disposition to insomnia, and these findings had potential implications for improving the sleep quality to reduce the burden of migraine.Keywords: mendelian randomization, insomnia, migraine, case–control
