Abstract excerpt
A susceptibility locus for restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been identified recently on chromosome 12q. This region contains several transcribed genes including neurotensin (NTS), which, as an important modulator of the dopaminergic transmission, represents a strong functional and positional candidate in the context of RLS. In this study, NTS was evaluated for mutational analysis. A panel of 19 individuals from 4...
