Genetic factors of the nociception

Abstract

A significant number of diseases are associated with pain, thereby affecting the quality of life of many individuals. The perception of pain is influenced by a multitude of variables including gender, age, ethnicity and genetic factors. This review summarizes monogenic and multifactorial factors involved in pain mechanisms.

Keywords:genetics of the nociception, Nav1.7, SCN9A, hereditary sensory and authonimic neuropathy, pain insensitivity
