BTBD9
BTBD9 encodes a BTB/POZ-domain-containing protein of incompletely defined molecular function, expressed broadly including in brain tissue. Genome-wide association studies have repeatedly identified BTBD9 as one of the strongest common-variant loci for restless legs syndrome, with risk alleles also associated with lower serum ferritin/iron stores, consistent with its tie to RLS risk in this dataset.
