ABSTRACT Background Chronic pain, which is often unrelated to ongoing injury, is poorly understood and difficult to treat. Genetic studies have identified voltage‐gated sodium (Nav) channels, particularly gain‐of‐function mutations such as L858F and R1150W in human NaV1.7, as involved in the development of chronic pain. Methods A chronic pain model was

Mutations specific to the Rac-GEF domain of TRIO cause intellectual disability and microcephaly [PDF]
Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders have challenged clinical genetics for decades, with over 700 genes implicated and many whose function remains unknown. The application of whole-exome sequencing is proving pivotal in closing the genotype/phenotype

A systematic review of brain health in adults with chronic pain
Summary Introduction Recent research has linked chronic pain with an increased risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Yet structural and functional brain changes associated with chronic pain and their potential role in accelerating brain ageing have not been characterised comprehensively.

ABSTRACT Background Young people with intellectual disability may exhibit poorer general health, higher mortality rates and greater limitations from physical or mental illnesses compared to the general population. It is important to understand how this may relate to healthcare utilisation, including factors influencing healthcare access for young ...

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain without Anhidrosis: Orodental Problems and Management
This paper reports the case of a 4-year-old male patient who was brought by parents requesting for replacement of multiple missing anterior teeth. The patient suffered from congenital insensitivity to pain without anhidrosis and presented with full blown

Inhibitory effect of oestradiol on the cardiac KV7.1/KCNE1 channel is species dependent
Abstract Oestradiol (17β‐E2) is reported to prolong the cardiac action potential duration and QT interval, in part by affecting cardiac ion channels. Previous studies found inhibiting 17β‐E2 effects on the repolarizating cardiac KV7.1/KCNE1 channel, or its native current, in heterologous expression systems or tissue from animal species.

Subtype-Selective Small Molecule Inhibitors Reveal a Fundamental Role for Nav1.7 in Nociceptor Electrogenesis, Axonal Conduction and Presynaptic Release. [PDF]
Human genetic studies show that the voltage gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) is a key molecular determinant of pain sensation. However, defining the Nav1.7 contribution to nociceptive signalling has been hampered by a lack of selective inhibitors.

Introduction Swyer syndrome is a genetic abnormality characterized by a 46,XY karyotype in a phenotypically female individual. Affected individuals typically have average or tall stature, unambiguous genitalia at birth, the presence of Müllerian structures, and bilateral streak gonads.
