Abstract:Background:Variations in genes codifying target structures in the nociceptive pathway can result in pain attenuation or increase.Objective:Investigate the genetic polymorphism influence in the individual pain threshold. Methods: Search on PubMed with the terms “genetic”, “pain” and its synonyms published in the last 10 years. Results:The subjective and individual mechanisms of pain aren’t completely understood, but genetic susceptibility is one of the hypothesis to explain these differences.The KCNK18 gene inf… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
