WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 -- The National Sleep Foundation issued the following news release:
Scientists in Japan have published a study in the journal Nature Genetics that identifies a genetic variation that increases a person's susceptibility to narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. The main features of narcolepsy are excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy.
