A rare form of narcolepsy (HLA-DR2-) shows possible association with (functionally relevant) alpha-interferon gene polymorphisms.

Abstract excerpt

Narcolepsy is a neuropsychiatric disease caused by complex disturbance of sleep regulation. The main symptoms comprise daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Although the aetiology remains unclear so far, narcolepsy is genetically characterized by strong linkage to the human leukocyte antigen complex as more than 90% of the patients are typed HLA-DR2+. Recently, it has become apparent that the orexin (hypocretin)...
