Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Birth order may play a role in autoimmune diseases and early childhood infections, both factors implicated in the etiology of narcolepsy. We investigated the association between birth order and narcolepsy risk in a population-based case-control study in which all study subjects were HLA-DQB1*0602 positive. METHODS: Subjects were 18-50 years old, residents of King County, Washington, and positive for...
