Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disorder (RLS/WED) are relatively common diseases in the realm of movement disorders. The fact that both may, as expected, co-occur and typically share a similar remarkable response to dopaminergic treatment raised the interest in exploration of additional shared features that throughout the years cruised fields as diverse as phenomenology, epidemiology, genetics, pathology, and clinical studies. In this review, we describe and critically examine the evidence and biases of a conceivable overlap of these two disorders, trying to shed light onto two main sources of confusion: (1) are PD and RLS/WED reciprocal risk factors? and (2) what are the main mimics of RLS/WED in PD?

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and REM Sleep Behavior Disorders in Parkinson's Disease: A Narrative Review on Early Intervention With Implications to Neuroprotection. Front Neurol 2018; 9:961.

Abstract
Sleep contributes to the consolidation of our memory and facilitates learning. Short term sleep deprivation temporarily reduces mnestic capacity, whereas long lasting sleep deprivation is associated with structural changes in the hippocampus and cortical areas. However, it is unknown whether early intervention and treatment of sleep disorders could have a neuroprotective effect. In neurodegenerative diseases sleep disorders can occur at preclinical stages and are frequently observed in patients with established Parkinson's disease (PD) and other α-synucleinopathies. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is recognized as a hallmark for the development of α-synucleinopathies and may predict early cognitive decline, while excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is present in 12% of patients with PD before treatment initiation and increases continuously over time, causing substantial restrictions for the patients' social life. In more advanced disease, EDS is associated with dementia. Even though well recognized, limited attention has been given to genetics or the treatment of RBD and EDS in early PD. Systematic screening and early intervention can be expected to increase the patients' quality of life, but it remains unclear if this will also impact disease progression. Intervention studies in preclinical and early stages of α-synucleinopathies are needed to increase our understanding of the underlying pathomechanisms and may also provide important inroads to help clarify whether sleep disturbances are secondary to the neurodegenerative process or also contribute to disease exacerbation.

Abstract
Study Objectives The association between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) has been extensively studied with inconclusive results; therefore, we prospectively examined the associations of the presence of RLS with development of incident PD. Methods From a nationally representative prospective cohort of almost 3.5 million US veterans (age: 60 ± 14 years, 93% male, median follow-up time of 7.8 years [interquartile range: 6.4-8.4 years]), we created a propensity-matched cohort of 100882 PD-free patients and examined the association between prevalent RLS and incident PD. This association was also assessed in the entire cohort. Associations were examined using Cox models. Results There were 68 incident PD events (0.13%, incidence rate 1.87 [1.48-2.37]/10000 patient-years) in the RLS-negative group, and 185 incident PD events (0.37%, incidence rate 4.72 [4.09-5.45]/10000 patient-years) in the RLS-positive group in the propensity-matched cohort. Prevalent RLS was associated with more than twofold higher risk of incident PD (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.95-3.39) compared to RLS-negative patients. Qualitatively similar results were found when we examined the entire 3.5 million cohort: Prevalent RLS was associated with more than twofold higher risk of incident PD (multivariable adjusted HR: 2.81, 95%CI: 2.41-3.27). Conclusion RLS and PD share common risk factors. In this large cohort of US veterans, we found that prevalent RLS is associated with higher risk of incident PD during 8 years of follow-up, suggesting that RLS could be an early clinical feature of incident PD.

Abstract
Aim: This study was performed to develop an algorithm using polymorphisms of CYP2D6, p-gp, OPRM1, COMT and psychological variables to predict tramadol response in Chinese patients recovering from upper limb fracture internal fixation surgery. Methods: A total of 250 Han Chinese patients recovering from fracture in the upper limb were enrolled. CYP2D6*10, p-gp G2677T, p-gp C3435T, OPRM1 A118G and COMT Val158Met were detected by the ligase detection reaction (LDR) method. The algorithm was developed with binary logistic regression in cohort 1 (200 patients) and assessed with Wilcoxon signed-rank test in cohort 2 (50 patients). Results: According to cohort 1, the predictive equation was calculated with the following logistic regression parameters: Logit (1) = 2.304–4.841 × (anxiety I) – 23.709 × (anxiety II) + 2.823 × (p-gp 3435CT) + 5.737 × (p-gp 3435 TT) – 1.586 × (CYP2D6*10 CT) – 4.542 × (CYP2D6*10 TT). The cutoff point for the prediction was defined as a probability value ≥0.5. The equation’s positive predictive value is 90%. When applied to a new sample, the equation’s positive predictive value is 86%. The Nagelkerke R2 of the model is 0.819, the results of the Hosmer and Leme test show a value of 0.981. The nonparametric correlations between predicted and observed response showed significant correlation (coefficient = 0.879; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The algorithm we have developed might predict tramadol response in Chinese upper limb fracture patients. Original submitted 24 April 2013; Revision submitted 24 January 2014

Abstract
The enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) metabolizes catecholamine neurotransmitters involved in a number of physiological functions, including pain perception. Both human and mouse COMT genes possess functional polymorphisms contributing to interindividual variability in pain phenotypes such as sensitivity to noxious stimuli, severity of clinical pain, and response to pain treatment. In this study, we found that the effects of Comt functional variation in mice are modality specific. Spontaneous inflammatory nociception and thermal nociception behaviors were correlated the most with the presence of the B2 SINE transposon insertion residing in the 3'UTR mRNA region. Similarly, in humans, COMT functional haplotypes were associated with thermal pain perception and with capsaicin-induced pain. Furthermore, COMT genetic variations contributed to pain behaviors in mice and pain ratings in humans in a sex-specific manner. The ancestral Comt variant, without a B2 SINE insertion, was more strongly associated with sensitivity to capsaicin in female vs male mice. In humans, the haplotype coding for low COMT activity increased capsaicin-induced pain perception in women, but not men. These findings reemphasize the fundamental contribution of COMT to pain processes, and provide a fine-grained resolution of this contribution at the genetic level that can be used to guide future studies in the area of pain genetics.

Abstract
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are both common neurological disorders. There has been much debate over whether an etiological link between these two diseases exists and whether they share a common pathophysiology. Evidence pointing towards a link includes response to dopaminergic agents in PD and RLS, suggestive of underlying dopamine dysfunction in both conditions. The extrastriatal dopaminergic system, in particular altered spinal dopaminergic modulation, may be variably involved in PD patients with RLS symptoms. In addition, there is now evidence that the nigrostriatal system, primarily involved in PD, is also affected in RLS. Furthermore, an association of RLS with the parkin mutation has been suggested. The prevalence of RLS has also been reported to be increased in other disorders of dopamine regulation. However, clinical association studies and functional imaging have produced mixed findings. Conflicting accounts of emergence of RLS and improvement in RLS symptoms after deep brain stimulation (DBS) also contribute to the uncertainty surrounding the issue. Among the strongest arguments against a common pathophysiology is the role of iron in RLS and PD. While elevated iron levels in the substantia nigra contribute to oxidative stress in PD, RLS is a disorder of relative iron deficiency, with symptoms responding to replacement therapy. Recent ultrasonography studies have suggested that, despite overlapping clinical features, the mechanisms underlying idiopathic RLS and RLS associated with PD may differ. In this review, we provide a concise summary of the clinical, imaging and genetic evidence exploring the link between RLS and PD.
