We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We are currently receiving a large number of applications for data submission, and the review process is taking longer than usual.We sincerely apologize for the delay and kindly ask for your understanding. When submitting an application, we would greatly appreciate it if you could allow sufficient time for the processing.

Following a change to our organizational structure effective April 1, 2026, this division has been renamed from the "Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research" to the "Database Division for Life Science (DBCLS), BioData Science Initiative (BSI), National Institute of Genetics (NIG)". Where the former name still appears in the guidelines, please read it as the new name.

Research title

Elucidation of the pathogenesis and identification of susceptibility genes for sleep disorders by genetic and functional analyses.

Research overview

Aims
Central disorders of hypersomnolence are lifelong disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive daytime sleepiness. Central disorders of hypersomnolence include narcolepsy (type 1 and type 2) and idiopathic hypersomnia. The pathogenesis of central disorders of hypersomnolence is poorly understood. No effective treatment for the disorders has been established. We expect that genetic researches will provide important contributions to understand the genetic basis and pathogenesis of the disorders. To identify susceptibility genes associated with central disorders of hypersomnolence, we will perform genome-wide association analyses, sequencing analyses and so on for the disorders.
Methods
We performed a genome-wide association study using genotyping data obtained from SNP chip.
Participants/materials
Idiopathic hypersomnia (13 orexin mutation-positive patients, 116 orexin mutation-negative patients)
