    ABSTRACT: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects up to 10% of older adults. Their healthcare is impeded by delayed diagnosis and insufficient treatment. To advance disease prediction and find new entry points for therapy, we performed meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies in 116,647 individuals with RLS (cases) and 1,546,466 controls of European ancestry. The pooled analysis increased the number of risk loci eightfold to 164, including three on chromosome X. Sex-specific meta-analyses revealed largely overlapping genetic predispositions of the sexes (rg = 0.96). Locus annotation prioritized druggable genes such as glutamate receptors 1 and 4, and Mendelian randomization indicated RLS as a causal risk factor for diabetes. Machine learning approaches combining genetic and nongen

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • fresh fruit intake Moderate

    Fresh fruit consumption shows causal protective effect against restless legs syndrome, the primary phenotype associated with rs10895816

    Incorporate fresh fruits into daily diet

Lifestyle

  • stress management for RLS risk reduction Moderate

    Psychological tenseness and restlessness show bidirectional causal relationships with RLS risk; stress reduction may help manage disease susceptibility

    Practice regular stress reduction such as meditation or relaxation techniques

Screening

  • restless legs syndrome symptoms High

    This variant shows extremely strong genetic association with RLS risk; early detection enables timely intervention with lifestyle and medical management

    Watch for evening/night leg discomfort and urge to move; discuss symptoms with healthcare provider
