About three quarters of the HLA DQB1*0602 positive patients with narcolepsy and cataplexy had low CSF hypocretin-1 values, and appear to form a distinct clinical entity.

Seventeen young adults with a sole diagnosis of HLA DQB1 0602 positive narcolepsy with cataplexy (25.1 +/- 4.6 years old) and 17 healthy comparison subjects (26.8 +/- 4.8 years old).

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of HLA class II DRB1/DQB1 alleles with narcolepsy-cataplexy in Mexican Mestizo patients.
Both sporadic narcoleptic dogs and human narcolepsy-cataplexy subjects showed a significant decrease in hcrtR1 expression, while declines in hcrtR2 expression were not significant in these cases.
SNP rs5770917 located between CPT1B and CHKB, and HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype were previously identified as susceptibility loci for narcolepsy with cataplexy.
Comparison of clinical characteristics among narcolepsy with and without cataplexy and idiopathic hypersomnia without long sleep time, focusing on HLA-DRB1( *)1501/DQB1( *)0602 finding.
The gold standard exam of narcolepsy with cataplexy is Hypocretin-1 dosage, but in patients without cataplexy and idiopathic hypersomnia, there are no specific diagnostic lab findings.
Essential hypersomnia (EHS) exhibits excessive daytime sleepiness without cataplexy and is associated with the HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype, similar to narcolepsy with cataplexy.
130 patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy (mean ± SD age 20 ± 10 yrs, 69% male) and 117 controls (22 ± 6.9 yrs, 62% male) were recruited and tested for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1*0602 status, hyperoxia hypercapnic (change in minute ventilation (δV'(E))/carbon dioxide tension (δP(CO(2))) L·min(-1)·mmHg(-1)) and hypoxic (δV'(E) /change in arterial oxygen saturation measured by probe oximetry (δS(p,O(2))) L·min(-1) per %S(p,O(2))) responsiveness, and by spirometry.
Across populations, low CSF hcrt-1 and HLA-DQB1*0602-positivity characterized the majority of NC (80% to 100%, P = 0.53; 80% to 100%, P = 0.11) but a minority of NwC patients (11% to 29%, P = 0.75; 29% to 89%, P = 0.043).
