Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prospective pain genetics research is hindered by a lack of data on the prevalence of polymorphisms in pain-relevant genes for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). For African-Americans in general, limited information is available in public databases. METHODS: We prioritized and examined the genotype and allele frequencies of 115 SNPs from 49 candidate pain genes in 199 adult African-Americans and...
