GENE: RLS1<br />
CYTO: 12q12-q21<br />
DESC: Restless legs syndrome, susceptibility to, 1<br />
SNP : rs2300478<br />
<br />
In a genomewide association study of 393 RLS patients and 1602 controls,<br />
Winkelmann et al. (2007) found a significant association between RLS and<br />
dbSNP rs2300478 in the MEIS1 gene (601739). The findings were confirmed<br />
in 2 independent replication studies of 875 and 211 patients,<br />
respectively. Combined results of all 3 studies yielded an overall odds<br />
ratio of 1.74 for the G allele (p = 8.08 x 10(-23)). The study also<br />
showed evidence for an association with several SNPs within a region on<br />
chromosome 15q that contains the LBXCOR1 (611273) and MAP2K5 (602520)<br />
genes.<br />
