## Abstract 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 posit
## Abstract We report on a family with comorbidity of Huntington's disease (HD) and idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS). All family members investigated and affected by RLS are also affected by HD, but not vice versa. The association of HD and RLS is discussed with respect to dopaminergic dysfu
## Abstract ## Objective This study aimed to investigate whether the monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B genes are associated with antipsychotic‐induced restless legs syndrome (RLS) in schizophrenia. ## Methods We assessed antipsychotic‐induced RLS symptoms in 190 Korean schizophrenic patients and d
