Abstract excerpt
One of the genes associated with pain perception is SCN9A, which encodes an α-subunit of the voltage gated sodium channel, NaV1.7, a crucial player in peripheral pain sensation. It has been suggested that a common missense polymorphism within SCN9A (rs6746030; G>A; R1150W) may affect nociception in the general population, but its effects of pain perception in athletes remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of the...
