Is Narcolepsy hereditary?
Here you can see if Narcolepsy can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Narcolepsy or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Yes they have found it is

Narcolepsy does have genetic component and can be somewhat hereditary but it is still extremely rare so your children and parents are unlikely to have it.

Narcolepsy has genetic components such as the HLA (human leucocitary antigen) complex in the cromossoma 6 allele.
So it means somehow your genes can manifestate the disease or not. It doesnt mean that some one in the family has the manisfestation of the disease.

There are some indicators that narcolepsy may be genetic.

My family tree: grandfather, mother, me, my son. Looks genetic to me.

Myself and my daughter both have been diagnosed with narcolepsy. We have also both had Mono as a child.

Hereditary is less than 2% which would make my answer negative. No.

Apparently yes, although it is not clear.
