Is there a link between RLS/PLMD and Huntingtons?

Post a new topicby tracikisses on Wed May 28, 2008 6:43 pm

I have just found out that I have RLS/PLMD. I was looking around on line and one article suggested there is a connection with RLS/PLMD and Huntingtons. Does anyone know if this is true?? Are we more likely to have huntingtons?? Please help!!! traci

-Huntingtons is an hereditary disease, in order for you to have it, one parent must carry the trait. If they do, you have a 50 % chance of inheriting it-
Huntingtons dones not turn into or lead to RLS.
