Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Impairment in the central dopaminergic system has been consistently suggested as an etiologic factor in restless legs syndrome (RLS). OBJECTIVE: To investigate a possible role for the MAOA and MAOB genes in RLS using a population-based association study. METHODS: In addition to a dinucleotide repeat located within the second intron of the MAOB gene, a functional variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR)...
