The results indicate that both sleep disorders decrease a patient’s general health status, but narcolepsy has a greater likelihood of comorbid autoimmune diseases and psychiatric disorders.

Findings are consistent with an immunologically mediated destruction of hypocretin-containing cells in human narcolepsy-cataplexy and indicate that complex HLA-DR and -DQ interactions contribute to the genetic predisposition to human narCOlepsy but that additional susceptibility loci are also most likely involved.
CD4+ T Cell Autoimmunity to Hypocretin/Orexin and Cross-Reactivity to a 2009 H1N1 Influenza A Epitope in Narcolepsy

Results point to a possible molecular mimicry between epitopes on hypocretin and the influenza hemagglutinin protein, and an increased frequency of circulating HCRT56–68– and H CRT87–99–reactive T cells.
