Human labour pain is influenced by the voltage-gated potassium channel K <sub>V</sub> 6.4 subunit

2018-12-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4> A bstract </h4> We sought genetic effects on labour pain by studying healthy women who did not request analgesia during their first delivery. Extensive sensory and psychometric testing were normal in these women, except for significantly higher cuff-pressure pain. We found an excess of heterozygotes carrying the rare allele of SNP rs140124801 in KCNG4 . The rare variant K V 6.4-Met419 exerts a dominant n...
