Exploring the genetic susceptibility of chronic widespread pain: the tender points in genetic association studies.

Rheumatology (Oxford, England) - 1 May 2008

Limer K L, Nicholl B I, Thomson W, McBeth J

Abstract excerpt

Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is a prevalent disorder associated with a low pain threshold and increased levels of psychological distress. Evidence indicates that there is a genetic component to CWP syndromes and pain sensitivity. Here we have identified and reviewed the current literature on genetic association (GA) studies of CWP and pain sensitivity by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE between January 1990 and May...
