Several lifestyle modifications are highly recommended for people with narcolepsy in order to help cope with symptoms:

To date, there is no cure for narcolepsy. However, there are medications that can help to alleviate the symptoms. There are three general types of

Narcolepsy diagnosis is based on symptoms, physical examination and sleep records. Since the major symptoms are non-specific to narcolepsy, several specialized tests such as polysomnograms

The signs and symptoms of narcolepsy usually appear during childhood or adolescence. Early onset narcolepsy can lead to impaired social, psychological and cognitive development if

The exact cause of narcolepsy is not yet known, but certain genetic and environmental factors are risk factors of this neurological sleeping disorder.

Narcolepsy is a condition characterized by extreme daytime sleepiness. Many affected people also suffer from sudden but temporary muscle weakness, known as cataplexy.

Although most narcolepsy cases are sporadic, there is still a strong genetic basis. The family members of an affected individual have a 20 – 40-fold

The Narcolepsy (HLA-DQB106:02) Genotyping test will conclusively determine whether you carry the HLA-DQB106:02 allele which is associated with an increased lifetime risk of developing narcolepsy.

The HLA-DQB1 gene is one of more than 200 genes in the HLA gene family. HLA genes are clustered on chromosome 6 and encode components of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)

This genotype analysis will indicate whether or not you have the DQB1*06:02 allele that is associated with an increased risk of narcolepsy.
