Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sodium channels located in the dorsal root ganglion, particularly Nav1.7 and Nav1.8, encoded by SCN9A and SCN10A, respectively, act as molecular gatekeepers for pain detection. Our aim was to determine the association between TIPN and SCN9A and SCN10A polymorphisms. METHODS: Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SCN9A and two in SCN10A were investigated using whole-genome genotyping data...
