What are the Normal Levels of Hypocretin 1 in Children?
Normal hypocretin 1 levels in CSF are generally above 200 pg/mL. Levels below 110 pg/mL are considered indicative of narcolepsy type 1. It is essential to interpret these values in the context of clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests, such as polysomnography or the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT).
