Intrafamilial Phenotypic Variability Associated with the I1739V Mutation in the SCN9A Gene [PDF]
The SCN9A gene encodes a voltage gated sodium channel Nav1.7 in which mutations can result in a wide variety of phenotypes ranging from congenital insensitivity to pain to small fiber neuropathy.

A novel SCN9A gene variant identified in a Chinese girl with paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD): a rare case report [PDF]
Background Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease, characterized by paroxysmal burning pain in the rectum, eyes or mandible and autonomic nervous symptoms, including skin redness and bradycardia. PEPD is a

Genetic Variants in the SCN9A Gene are Detected in a Minority of Erythromelalgia Patients [PDF]
Gain-of-function variants in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, encoded by the SCN9A gene, have previously been identified in patients with erythromelalgia, a clinical diagnosis defined by intermittent attacks of painful, hot, swollen, and red skin,

Identification and In-Silico study of non-synonymous functional SNPs in the human SCN9A gene. [PDF]
Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most common form of DNA alterations at the level of a single nucleotide in the genomic sequence. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were carried to identify potential risk genes or genomic regions by screening ...

Erythromelalgia: A Child With V400M Mutation in the SCN9A Gene. [PDF]
Erythromelalgia is a rare pain syndrome caused by gain-of-function mutations of the SCN9A gene. The gene encodes Nav1.7 channels, preferentially located in the sympathetic ganglia and nociceptive sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG),1 that play a key role in pain modulation.2 DRG hyperexcitability leads to decreased pain threshold and ...

A role of SCN9A in human epilepsies, as a cause of febrile seizures and as a potential modifier of Dravet syndrome. [PDF]
A follow-up study of a large Utah family with significant linkage to chromosome 2q24 led us to identify a new febrile seizure (FS) gene, SCN9A encoding Na(v)1.7.
