Essential hypersomnia (EHS) exhibits excessive daytime sleepiness without cataplexy and is associated with the HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype, similar to narcolepsy with cataplexy. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1154155 located in the T-cell receptor alpha (TCRA) locus has been recently identified as a novel genetic marker of susceptibility for narcolepsy with cataplexy. We investigated whether the SNP was associated with EHS in the Japanese population. We found a significant association with EHS patients possessing the HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype, compared with HLA-matched healthy individuals (P(allele)=0.008; P(positivity)=5x10(-4)), whereas no significant association was observed for EHS patients without this haplotype. Thus, TCRA is a plausible candidate for susceptibility to EHS patients positive for the HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype.
