not good stats available
by Lynne (no login)i know, right? all i can find are stats that say the % of people with the markers who have narcolepsy cataplexy and without.
This site says 24% of people have both markers and don't have narcolepsy at all.

It also says 76% of the people who are positive for both markers and have narcolepsy have cataplexy as well. But it does not say how many people actually have both markers in the first place have narcolepsy. I guess that would be 76% of the total amount tested if 24% have both markers, but no narcolepsy at all.
