Three databases were used to extract genes associated to the pathways related to narcolepsy in certain way. A total of 2,018 genes were picked up as candidate genes and these genes were examined whether they had SNPs with 6.4×10-5 < P < 0.01 within 50kb upstream and downstream of the gene in the GWAS
