TLDR
This work identifies PTPRD as the fourth genome-wide significant locus for RLS, and two independent SNPs in the 5′ UTR of splice variants expressed predominantly in the central nervous system showed highly significant P values.
Abstract
We identified association of restless legs syndrome (RLS) with PTPRD at 9p23-24 in 2,458 affected individuals and 4,749 controls from Germany, Austria, Czechia and Canada. Two independent SNPs in the 5' UTR of splice variants expressed predominantly in the central nervous system showed highly significant P values (rs4626664, P(nominal/lambda corrected) = 5.91 x 10(-10), odds ratio (OR) = 1.44; rs1975197, P(nominal/lambda corrected) = 5.81 x 10(-9), OR = 1.31). This work identifies PTPRD as the fourth genome-wide significant locus for RLS.

Genomewide Linkage Scan Identifies a Novel Susceptibility Locus for Restless Legs Syndrome on Chromosome 9p

TL;DR: RLS is established as a highly heritable trait, a novel genetic locus for RLS is identified, and the assumption of an autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance is validated, which will facilitate further cloning and identification of the genes.

Mammalian Motoneuron Axon Targeting Requires Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases σ and δ

TL;DR: RPTP-σ and RPTP-δ complement each other functionally during mammalian development, and reveal an essential contribution of RPTP/δ to appropriate motoneuron axon targeting during mammalian axonogenesis.
