An international research team from Technical University of Munich & Helmholtz Munich has conducted the largest genetic investigation of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) to date, providing significant advancements in understanding its genetic basis. RLS affects 2-3% of elderly individuals of European ancestry and can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, reduced quality of life, and lower general health. The study could pave novel pathways for patient care and identify those at greatest risk, pointing to potential treatments for the condition.
