This study found that patients with idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) had a reduced melanopsin response, suggesting alterations in phototransduction. Measuring the Post-Illumination Pupil Response (PIPR) may serve as a biomarker for IH and help improve the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), characterized by an excessive day-time sleepiness, a prolonged total sleep time on 24 h and/or a reduced sleep latency, affects 1 in 2000 individuals from the general population. However, IH remains underdiagnosed and inaccurately treated despite colossal social, professional and personal impacts. The pathogenesis of IH is poorly known, but recent works have suggested possible alterations of phototransduction. In this context, to identify biomarkers of IH, we studied the Post-Illumination Pupil Response (PIPR) using a specific pupillometry protocol reflecting the melanopsin-mediated pupil response in IH patients with prolonged total sleep time (TST > 660 min) and in healthy subjects. Twenty-eight patients with IH (women 86%, 25.4 year-old +/- 4.9) and 29 controls (women 52%, 27.1 year-old +/- 3.9) were included. After correction on baseline pupil diameter, the PIPR was compared between groups and correlated to sociodemographic and sleep parameters. We found that patients with IH had a lower relative PIPR compared to controls (32.6 +/- 9.9% vs 38.5 +/- 10.2%, p = 0.037) suggesting a reduced melanopsin response. In addition, the PIPR was not correlated to age, chronotype, TST, nor depressive symptoms. The melanopsin-specific PIPR may be an innovative trait marker of IH and the pupillometry might be a promising tool to better characterize hypersomnia.
