DNA Labs India – HCRT Gene Narcolepsy NGS Genetic Test
If you or someone you know is experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden muscle weakness, or hallucinations during sleep, it could be a sign of narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the sleep-wake cycle and can significantly impact daily life. Fortunately, genetic testing can help diagnose the condition and provide insight into its underlying causes.
HCRT Gene and Narcolepsy
One of the genes associated with narcolepsy is the HCRT gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called orexin. Orexin helps regulate wakefulness and appetite, and people with narcolepsy often have a deficiency of this protein. Genetic testing can identify variations in the HCRT gene that may contribute to narcolepsy, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
Symptoms of Narcolepsy
The symptoms of narcolepsy can vary from person to person but often include:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Sudden muscle weakness or collapse (cataplexy)
- Hallucinations during sleep
- Sleep paralysis
- Fragmented nighttime sleep
- Automatic behaviors (performing routine tasks without conscious awareness)
Diagnosing Narcolepsy
Diagnosing narcolepsy can be challenging, as its symptoms can be similar to other sleep disorders. However, genetic testing can help identify variations in the HCRT gene that are associated with narcolepsy. Other diagnostic tests may include:
- Polysomnography (overnight sleep study)
- Multiple sleep latency test (measures how quickly you fall asleep during the day)
- Actigraphy (measures sleep-wake patterns over several days)
