Abstract excerpt
Erythromelalgia (also termed erythermalgia) is a neuropathic pain syndrome, characterized by severe burning pain combined with redness in the extremities, triggered by mild warmth. The inherited form of erythromelalgia (IEM) has recently been linked to mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, which is expressed in peripheral nociceptors. Here, we used whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings in HEK293 cells...
