Abstract
Study objectives: Despite the high prevalence and clinical relevance of NREM parasomnias, data on supportive genetic markers are scarce, and mainly refer to sleepwalking only.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical, polysomnographic, and HLA findings of 74 adults (37 men) with NREM parasomnia gathered from four neurological sleep centers. Parasomniac events were classified according to ICSD-2 criteria. HLA DQB1 genotyping was compared to regional-matched reference allele-frequencies.
Results: Fifty-six patients had more than 2 different parasomnia type: 11 sleepwalking, 4 sleep terrors, 3 confusional arousals only. Parasomniac events were documented during video-polysomnography (V-PSG) in 70% (49/70) of subjects (71.4% confusional arousals, 8.2% sleep terrors, 4.1% sleepwalking, 16.3% ≥ 2 NREM parasomnia types). Violent behavior during V-PSG occurred in 8.5% (6/71). NREM parasomnia onset was reported after the age of 30 years in 6.8% (5/74). The HLA DQB1*05:01 allele was present in 41% (29/71) compared to 24.2% in the regional-matched reference allele group (p < 0.05). This haplotype prevalence did not differ within the NREM parasomnia type. Epworth Sleepiness Score was 10 or higher in 28.6%.
Conclusions: This is a large polysomnography-based case series of patients with NREM parasomnia. In patients with suspected sleepwalking or sleep terrors, polysomnography is highly useful in detecting arousals from NREM sleep as a marker of NREM parasomnia. We confirmed previous findings by demonstrating a high prevalence of the HLA DQB1*05:01 genotype for different types of NREM parasomnias. Our findings therefore support a common genetic background, and corroborate the importance of video-polysomnography in the work-up of parasomnia.
