Summary: KLS is a rare disorder characterized by severe episodic hypersomnia, with possible genetic and obstetrical risk factors. A genome-wide study identified a significant association with TRANK1 gene and reported birth difficulties in KLS cases. Genetic liability and pathway analysis suggest links between KLS, circadian regulation, and bipolar disorder.

Summary: Kleine-Levin syndrome is a rare neurological disease characterized by severe hypersomnia and cognitive behavioral disturbances, with triggering factors such as infection, sleep deprivation, and substance intake. A case study of a young woman showed typical symptoms starting after a party, with eventual diagnosis after multiple episodes.

Summary: The study revealed that circadian rest-active rhythms in asymptomatic periods for KLS patients showed no significant difference compared to controls, but during hypersomnia attacks, the amplitude of the circadian rhythms drastically decreased. Further analysis identified several parameters including M10, IS, and alpha 1, which may serve as physiological markers of KLS and help predict the end of hypersomnia episodes.

Summary: Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of idiopathic hypersomnia and cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. The exact etiology is unknown, but genetic predisposition, autoimmune mechanisms, and abnormal thalamic and hypothalamic functioning have been proposed. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a KLS patient with remission of KLS episodes after intranasal photobiomodulation with red light and methylene blue.

Summary: This study examines the temporal risk patterns of psychiatric disorders among patients with dementia before, at the time of, and after diagnosis. The findings highlight the significant increase in psychiatric disorders both before and after dementia diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of incorporating psychiatric preventative and management interventions for individuals with dementia across various diagnostic stages.

Summary: This study reported a case of Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS), in which a woman with KLS experienced recurrent episodes of sleep hypersomnia. Oral L-carnitine was found to be effective in reducing the symptoms of hypersomnia. The findings suggest a potential association between L-carnitine and the onset of KLS.

Summary: Kleine-Levin Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, behavioral changes, and cognitive abnormalities. The exact disease mechanism is unknown, limiting the development of effective treatments. This review explores the pathophysiology and genetics of the disorder and proposes a neurodevelopmental mechanism based on associations with obstetric complications.
