Case-Control and Family-Based Association Study of Specific PTPRD Variants in Restless Legs Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Background:The exact genetic causes within each of the known restless legs syndrome (RLS) loci are still unknown. Recently, it was suggested that an intronic protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type ? (PTPRD) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (reference SNP no. rs2381970) is associated with its expression, which may lead to RLS and other related phenotypes. Another study identified 3 nonsynonymous PTPRD variants in familial RLS cases: p.Q447E (a residue change from glutamine to glutamic acid at position 447), p.T781A (a residue change from threonine to alanine at position 781), and p.R995C (a residue change from arginine to cysteine at position 995). Methods:Two cohorts of sporadic RLS, a French-Canadian cohort and a cohort from the United States, with a total of 577 patients and 455 controls, and an additional familial RLS cohort with a total of 635 individuals (140 families) were genotyped for these 4 variants (rs2381970, p.Q447E, p.T781A, and p.R995C) by using specific TaqMan probes, and the effects of each variant as well as haplotypes were analyzed. Results:None of the 4 PTPRD-specific variants or haplotypes that were tested were associated with RLS in the case-control cohorts or in the familial cohort. The frequencies of the rs2381970 variant in the French-Canadian and US cohorts were 0.07 and 0.04, respectively, and their frequencies in the respective control populations were 0.06 and 0.04, respectively (P > 0.4 for both). Similar results were obtained for the 3 nonsynonymous variants. Conclusions:Although the PTPRD gene is well established as an RLS-associated locus, the rs2381970 SNP and the 3 nonsynonymous PTPRD variants are not likely to cause or affect the risk for developing RLS in the study population. More studies in other populations are needed to determine their potential role in RLS.

Project description:ImportanceRestless legs syndrome is a common neurologic disorder that is more prevalent in women than in men, and it has been suggested that female hormones may be involved in the disorder's pathophysiology.ObjectiveTo determine whether women who underwent premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy were at increased risk of restless legs syndrome.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study was performed using data from the Mayo Clinic Cohort Study of Oophorectomy and Aging-2 for a population in Olmsted County, Minnesota. There were 1653 women who underwent premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy before the age of 50 years for a benign indication between 1988 and 2007 and 1653 age-matched women (of same age plus or minus 1 year) in a reference group. Follow-up was conducted until the end of the study period (ie, December 31, 2014). Data were analyzed from January to July 2020.ExposuresUndergoing bilateral oophorectomy, as shown in medical record documentation.Main outcomes and measuresDiagnosis of restless legs syndrome, as defined using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) criteria, was recorded.ResultsAmong 3306 women, the median (interquartile range) age at baseline was 44.0 (40.0-47.0) years. Women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy, compared with women who did not undergo this procedure, had a greater number of chronic conditions at the index date (eg, 300 women [18.1%] vs 171 women [10.3%] with ≥3 chronic conditions; overall P < .001), were more likely to have obesity (576 women [34.8%] vs 442 women [27.1%]; overall P < .001), and were more likely to have a history of anemia of any type (573 women [34.7%] vs 225 women [13.6%]; P < .001), iron deficiency anemia (347 women [21.0%] vs 135 women [8.2%]; P < .001), and restless legs syndrome before the index date (32 women [1.9%] vs 14 women [0.8%]; P = .008). Women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy prior to natural menopause had a higher risk of restless legs syndrome after the index date compared with women in the reference group (120 diagnoses vs 74 diagnoses), with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.44 (95% CI, 1.08-1.92; P = .01). After stratification by indication for the bilateral oophorectomy, there was an increased risk of restless legs syndrome among women without a benign ovarian condition (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.03-2.25; P = .04) but not among women with a benign condition (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.80-1.96; P = .34). Treatment with estrogen therapy through the age of 46 years in women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy at younger ages was not associated with a difference in risk.Conclusions and relevanceThis cohort study found that risk of restless legs syndrome was increased among women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy prior to menopause, especially those without a benign ovarian indication.
