Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Visceral sensory impulses are transmitted via C-fibers from the gastrointestinal tract to the central nervous system. The tetrodotoxinresistant (TTX-r) sodium channel, Na(V) 1.8/SNS (sensory-neuron specific), encoded by SCN10A, has been identified on C-fibers. We attempted to clarify the association between functional dyspepsia (FD) and SCN10A non-synonymous polymorphisms (2884 A>G, 3218 C>T and 3275...
