Twin studies of pain.

Clinical genetics - 1 Oct 2012

Nielsen C S, Knudsen G P, Steingrímsdóttir Ó A

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies provide a method for estimating the heritability of phenotypes and for examining genetic and environmental relationships between phenotypes. We conducted a systematic review of twin studies of pain, including both clinical and experimental pain phenotypes. Fifty-six papers were included, whereof 52 addressed clinical phenotypes. Of the most comprehensively studied phenotypes, available data indicates...
