Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The neurotensin gene (NTS), a known dopamine modulator, is located within the candidate region for the first genetic locus of restless legs syndrome (RLS1) on chromosome 12q. Though no causative mutation was found in selected patients in a previous mutation analysis, the involvement of NTS in RLS cannot be completely excluded as a potential positional and functional candidate gene. The...
