Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between vitamin D levels and genetic factors related to restless legs syndrome (RLS) in a Spanish population, aiming to confirm previous associations found in other research.
- Results indicated that RLS patients had higher serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D compared to controls, but no connection was found between specific genetic variations (SNPs) in the vitamin D receptor gene and RLS risk.
- Although the SNPs did not correlate with RLS, patients with a particular genetic variant showed a better response to certain medications, highlighting the complexity of RLS treatment options.
