The mode of inheritance of the HLA-linked gene predisposing to narcolepsy.
Analysis of data from two published studies (Juji et al. 1984, Langdon et al. 1984) allows rejection of a recessive mode of inheritance for the HLA linked gene predisposing to narcolepsy and favors an additive or dominant model with possible incomplete penetrance.
