Didriksen, Nawaz, et al. identify three novel genetic risk variants for restless legs syndrome and confirm 19 out of 20 previously reported variants through a genome-wide association meta-analysis including nearly half a million individuals. Using expression QTL analysis, they also find that a subset of these loci may have a causal effect on nearby gene expression.
