title: Genetic association of Huntington's disease and restless legs syndrome? A family report.
abstract: We report on a family with comorbidity of Huntington's disease (HD) and idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS). All family members investigated and affected by RLS are also affected by HD, but not vice versa. The association of HD and RLS is discussed with respect to dopaminergic dysfunction.
