Genetic tests are available to detect the causative mutations in HCRTR2.`\n- `Clin feat: Dogs with familial narcolepsy may show signs between 4 weeks to 6 months of age. Affected dogss are sleepy, and cannot maintain long stretches of wakefulness. Affected dogs fall asleep faster than normal dogs. Narcolepsy is neither progressive nor life-threatening (Tonokura et al., 2007). In response a positive emotional stimulus (such as food or play) affected animals experience cataplexy, which is a sudden loss of muscle tone without loss of consciousness (Tonokura et al., 2007). During an attack of cataplexy, common first signs are buckling of both hindlimbs and drooping of the neck. The dog then collapses and is still for a period of seconds to minutes. The muscles are always flaccid during attacks. Dogs usually remain conscious and open-eyed during attacks, and are capable of following objects with their eyes. If an attack lasts for longer than a couple of minutes, the dog may fall asleep. Cataplexy can often be treated with tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine or clomipramine (Tonokura et al., 2007). Prazosin and physostigmine increase cataplexy in narcoleptic dogs and lower hypocretin levels in normal dogs. Methamphetamine, labetalol, and phenylephrine decrease cataplexy in narcoleptic dogs and raise hypocretin levels in normal dogs (Wu et al., 2011).`\n- `Defect: yes`\n- `Pathology: In normal dogs, hypocretin activity is reinforced by a positive feedback mechanism mediated by hypocretin-2 receptors, which is crucial to normal regulation of sleep and wakefulness (Wu et al., 2011). While affected dogs lack functional HCRTR2, they have normal hypocretin-1 receptors, normal CSF hypocretin levels, and normal numbers of hypocretin neurons (Wu et al., 2011).`\n- `Control: Relatives of affected dogs should be tested. Breeding of affected dogs or carriers is not recommended.`\n- `Gen test: There are tests available to detect the causative mutations in the dachshunds, Labrador retriever, and Doberman pinscher.`\n## Associated gene(s)\nDerived from OMIA database dump (omia.xml, local); structured field, not verbatim prose.
