Genes contributing to pain sensitivity in the normal population: an exome sequencing study.

Genes contributing to pain sensitivity in the normal population: an exome sequencing study.

Sensitivity to pain varies considerably between individuals and is known to be heritable. Increased sensitivity to experimental pain is a risk factor for developing chronic pain, a common and debilitating but poorly understood symptom. To understand mechanisms underlying pain sensitivity and to sear...
