Abstract excerpt
Erythromelalgia (EM), is a familial pain syndrome characterized by episodic 'burning' pain, warmth, and erythema. EM is caused by monoallelic variants in SCN9A, which encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) NaV1.7. Over 25 different SCN9A mutations attributed to EM have been described to date, all identified in the SCN9A transcript utilizing exon 6N. Here we report a novel SCN9A missense variant identified...
