Previous data indicate that persistent pain states often involve sensitization within the central nervous system (CNS). Many recently described human genetic variants may affect these central processes. Genetic variability influences both synthesis and function of proteins affecting the plasticity of the CNS. Hence, individual genetic variability may be important to understand the development of many persistent...
