Abstract excerpt
Narcolepsy is a life-long neurological disorder with well-established genetic risk factors. Human leukocyte antigen-DQB1*06:02 remains the strongest genetic predeterminant; however, polymorphisms in genes encoding the T-cell receptor alpha chain are also strongly linked. This case report shows the inheritance pathway of these genetic markers contributing to narcolepsy onset in a 17-year-old female.
