We have recently been bombarded with so many TV ads for treatments for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) that I was beginning to wonder if it were real or a disorder created by drug makers.
The finding by researchers at Emory University and deCode Genetics of a gene linked to RLS has satisfied my mind on this matter.
The article is in New England Journal of Medicine published on line on July 18. There is also a summary of the article at Eurekalert.org.
They also mention that sometimes a low level of iron can be part of the problem.
Personally my legs seem to get the fidgets when it's past my bedtime.
