      Kemlink, D.; Plazzi, G.; Vetrugno, R.; Provini, F.; Polo, O.; Stiasny-Kolster, K.; Oertel, W.; Nevsimalova, S.; Sonka, K.; Högl, B.; Frauscher, B.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Pramstaller, P. P.; Lichtner, P.; Meitinger, T.; Müller-Myshok, B.; Winkelmann, J.; Montagna, P. (2008)
      Five loci for restless legs syndrome (RLS) on chromosomes 12q, 14q, 9p, 2q, and 20p (RLS1-RLS5) have been mapped in RLS families, with a recessive in the first and autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance in the latter cases. ...
