I am not sure that there is a test yet. They may develop one but having been down the genetic testing path I can tell you it would probably be expensive for quite a while to come. However, this should help the medical community come to terms with RLS as a real condition, and perhaps help point out a new treatment path.
I have not researched RLS more than very slightly (the sleep lab asked me whether I had it) so I don't know if this is a new concept, but I noticed in the abstract that there was a reference to iron depletion. Has any doctor discussed this with you? If not and your RLS is bothersome enough to warrant you might want to take your doctor a copy of the article. Side note, if the sleep lab was testing for RLS they perhaps may have some thoughts on helping it? Sleep studies are horribly expensive though.
