A missense mutation in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein as a cause of familial narcolepsy with cataplexy.

Abstract excerpt

Narcolepsy is a rare sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Familial narcolepsy accounts for less than 10% of all narcolepsy cases. However, documented multiplex families are very rare and causative mutations have not been identified to date.
