How is Hypocretin Deficiency Diagnosed?

Diagnosing hypocretin deficiency typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and specific tests such as:
Polysomnography (overnight sleep study)
Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)
Hypocretin-1 level measurement in cerebrospinal fluid
These diagnostic tools help in confirming the presence of narcolepsy and assessing the level of hypocretin in the child's system.
