SCN10A Mutation in a Patient with Erythromelalgia Enhances C-Fiber Activity Dependent Slowing. [PDF]
Gain-of-function mutations in the tetrodotoxin (TTX) sensitive voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav) Nav1.7 have been identified as a key mechanism underlying chronic pain in inherited erythromelalgia.

Homozygosity for the SCN10A Polymorphism rs6795970 Is Associated With Hypoalgesic Inflammatory Bowel Disease Phenotype [PDF]
Background: Hypoalgesic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition in which patients with active disease do not perceive and/or report abdominal pain, is associated with serious complications and there is a lack of cost-effective, reliable diagnostic ...

Variant Intronic Enhancer Controls SCN10A-short Expression and Heart Conduction [PDF]
Background: Genetic variants in SCN10A , encoding the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel Na V 1.8, are strongly associated with atrial fibrillation, Brugada syndrome, cardiac conduction velocities, and heart rate.

Regulation of PVT‐CeA Circuit in Deoxynivalenol‐Induced Anorexia and Aversive‐Like Emotions
Neuronal plasticity in the central amygdala (CeA) is essential for modulating feeding behaviors and emotional responses, potentially influencing reactions to Deoxynivalenol (DON).

A SCN10A SNP biases human pain sensitivity [PDF]
Background: Nav1.8 sodium channels, encoded by SCN10A, are preferentially expressed in nociceptive neurons and play an important role in human pain. Although rare gain-of-function variants in SCN10A have been identified in individuals with painful peripheral neuropathies, whether more common variants in SCN10A can have an effect at the channel level ...

Genomic Structural Equation Modeling Combined With Post-GWAS Analysis Identifies Two Risk Gene Loci and Functionally Sensitive Genes Associated With Cardiac Conduction Block. [PDF]
Background Cardiac conduction disorders (CCDs) represent a broad spectrum of severe cardiovascular conditions associated with syncope and sudden cardiac death. Therefore, identification of reliable biomarkers is necessary to significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes of CCDs. This study analyzed GWAS summary datasets using a

The parabss1 Drosophila melanogaster as Model for Chronic Nociception: Insights Into Cannabidiol Analgesic Effects. [PDF]
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

Background: Dominant and recessive autosomal pathogenic variants in the three major genes (COL6A1-A2-A3) encoding the extracellular matrix protein collagen VI underlie a group of myopathies ranging from early-onset severe conditions (Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy) to milder forms maintaining independent ambulation (Bethlem myopathy).
