Backgrounds and aims. Insomnia is a common sleep problem with significant health burden to individuals, families and society. Several risk factors contributed to the development of insomnia with significant familial aggregation phenomenon. According to this prospective study, we aimed to (1) explore the longitudinal course and outcomes of insomnia in both children and their parents; (2) confirm the familial aggregation and heritability of insomnia by detailed clinical interviews; (3) explore the potential biological markers of insomnia in terms of heart rate variability, 24-hour urinary cortisol and serial salivary cortisol. / Conclusions. Insomnia is commonly found in both adolescents and adults with moderate persistence rate after 5 years in Hong Kong Chinese. Our findings of increased risk of chronic medical burdens and various upper airway inflammatory diseases in both adolescent and adult subjects with insomnia suggested that insomnia requires comprehensive medical attention. Insomnia is a highly heritable disorder with robust familial aggregations, with a heritability of 0.67 for lifetime insomnia. We found gene-environment interaction on the pathogenesis of insomnia. Our findings strongly suggested the necessity of further molecular genetic analysis on insomnia. Daytime HRV, 24-hour urinary cortisol and serial salivary cortisol might not be the reliable biological markers for insomnia. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) / Results. Phase 1. The prevalences of insomnia were 4.5%, 10.8% and 13.9% at baseline and 6.6%, 8.1% and 11.6% at follow-up for children, fathers and mothers respectively. Similar incidence rate of insomnia was found across adolescents, fathers and mothers (6.2%, 5.4% and 6.8% respectively, p>0.05), while highest persistence rate of insomnia was found in mothers (43.8%), followed by fathers (26.9%) and adolescents (14.9%) (mothers vs adolescents OR(95%CI)=4.43(2.22--8.86); mothers vs fathers OR(95%CI) = 2.11(1.31--3.42); fathers vs adolescents OR(95%CI) = 2.17(0.98--4.52)). Insomnia at baseline was significantly associated with frequent episodes of allergic rhinitis, asthma, and laryngopharyngitis and chronic use of medicine at follow-up in adolescents (p<0.05). Insomnia at baseline was also significantly associated with poor medical outcomes in adults, including frequent allergic rhinitis, otitis media, hypertension, arthritis, psychiatric disorders, chronic pain and gastroesophageal reflux disease at follow-up in middle-aged adults (p<0.05). Phase 2 study . The first degree relatives' recurrent rate was higher in those adolescents with insomnia than those adolescents without insomnia (43.9% vs 22.9% for current insomnia and 51.1% vs 28.0% for lifetime insomnia, respectively p<0.001). Genetic analysis showed that the heritabilities were 0.57 +/- 0.19 for current insomnia and 0.67 +/- 0.13 for lifetime insomnia after adjusted for age and gender. There was significant synergistic interaction between parental history of insomnia and life stress on the development of insomnia of offsprings (p=0.002). Insomnia disorder and its severity were also found to correlate with neuroticism personality, psychological distress and poor quality of life. The phenotypic correlations of insomnia with these factors could be mainly explained by genetic component in bivariate genetic analysis. Phase 3 study. (1) Subjective sleep quantity and quality was consistently and negatively correlated with 24-hour urinary cortisol and salivary cortisol levels in adolescents. However, there was no such association in adults. (2) Adolescents with insomnia diagnosis had lower salivary cortisol at 0 minute after waking up (T1) but less decrease in AUCi3 than non-insomniac adolescents. Although there was no difference in serial salivary cortisol between insomniacs and non-insomniacs in adult, insomnia diagnosis interacted with gender on the effects of AC1Ji and salivary cortisol level at 10:00 pm. (3) There was no difference in 24-hour urinary cortisol between insomniacs and non-insomniacs. (4) There were some inconsistent associations of salivary cortisol with objective and subjective sleep parameters between continuous and dichotomized approaches. Fox example, there was no correlation between salivary cortisol and objective sleep measures in adults when using continuous variables, but, short sleepers as defined by objective TIB≤400 minutes had higher cortisol levels at T1 (13.5+/-7.9 nmol/L vs 11.2+/-5.0 nmol/L) and T2 (14.0+/-6.0 vs 11.5+/-6.2 nmol/L) than their counterparts (TIB>400 minutes). In brief, cortisol (both salivary and urinary samples) level was more likely to be correlated with subjective measures of sleep than objective measures or insomnia diagnosis. In particular, the association predominantly occurred in adolescent group. / Zhang, Jihui. / Adviser: Yun-bwote Wing. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-01, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 245-249). / Electronic reproduction.

Conclusion. A much higher percentage of narcolepsy and narcolepsy spectrum disorders was identified in our family study than previous reports. Most of the cases were asymptomatic. The shortened MSL and SOREMPs should be regarded as endophenotypes of narcolepsy. Nocturnal sleep variability was found to be associated with a diagnosis of narcolepsy, daytime shortened MSL and SOREMPs among the relatives. Our data was more concordant with a hypothesis of state boundary control/state instability for narcolepsy. Further molecular genotyping with the incorporation of endophenotype concept should be planned. / Introduction. Most familial studies on narcolepsy lacked detailed face-to-face clinical interviews and objective polysomnogram (PSG) and daytime multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) measurements. Our preliminary family study found one relative (2.9%) with narcolepsy and about 30% of the relatives fulfilled the criteria of narcolepsy spectrum disorder (shortened mean sleep latency [MSL] and/or the presence of sleep onset REM periods [SOREMPs]) The aim of this study was to further explore the familial aggregation and transmission pattern in a larger sample of Hong Kong Chinese narcolepsy, all based on detailed face-to-face interviews and objective measurements. / Methods. Thirty-four narcolepsy (with/without cataplexy) patients, one hundred and two relatives of these probands and forty-eight healthy controls were included in the study. All probands, relatives and controls underwent an overnight standard nocturnal PSG and a daytime MSLT on the following day. In addition, each subject also had a detailed clinical interview and completed sleep questionnaires. HLA DQB1*0602 genotyping was performed for 32 probands, 94 relatives and 30 controls. / Results. Seven (6.9%) relatives were diagnosed as narcolepsy with cataplexy and 9 (8.8%) relatives were diagnosed as narcolepsy without cataplexy. 39 (38.2%) had narcolepsy spectrum disorder and 47 (46.1%) were considered to be normal. A very strong familial aggregation of narcolepsy, narcolepsy spectrum disorder with associated features of shortened MSL (≤8min) and multiple SOREMPs were found in relatives, but not for sleep related hallucinations and sleep paralysis. Cataplexy seemed to breed true with exclusive but a low percentage of occurrence in the relatives of cataplectic-narcoleptic probands when comparing to the non-cataplectic probands (9% v.s. 0%). A close correlation of HLA-DQB1*0602 with cataplexy was found in both probands and their relatives. The narcoleptic relatives had an excess winter-birth when compared to normal relatives. On the other hand, the first-degree relatives of probands born in other seasons rather than winter had a shorter sleep latency in nocturnal sleep and a shorter mean sleep latency in MSLT. Our data suggested a Mendelian recessive model and multiplicative model for the inheritance of narcolepsy and a Mendelian dominant model for narcolepsy spectrum. Subjective questionnaires were unable in differentiating relatives with narcolepsy spectrum disorder from others. Relatives with narcolepsy reported a high rate of irregular sleep-wake patterns with both variable bedtime and nocturnal sleep duration. This nocturnal sleep variability correlated with daytime shortened MSL and SOREMPs among the relatives. In addition, shortened MSL and SOREMPs should be considered as endophenotypes of narcolepsy as they are the intermediate phenotypes that are heritable, state independent, associated with disease in the population and co-segregated with the disease within families. / Chen, Lei. / Adviser: Wing Yun Kwok. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-06, Section: B, page: 3775. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 59-70). / Electronic reproduction.
