AbstractCongenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is a rare phenotype characterized by the inability to perceive pain stimuli with subsequent self‐injuries, whereas CIP associated with anhidrosis (CIPA) is an overlapping phenotype mainly characterized by insensitivity to noxious stimuli and anhidrosis.

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the SCN9A gene. We report a patient with the clinical features consistent with CIP in whom we detected a novel homozygous G2755T mutation in exon ...

Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.

Copy number variations (CNVs) have been related to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). The 2q24.3 region includes a cluster of genes for voltage-gated sodium channels (SCN) and CNVs in this region cause DEE. However, the long-term course of

The Peptide Network between Tetanus Toxin and Human Proteins Associated with Epilepsy [PDF]
Sequence matching analyses show that Clostridium tetani neurotoxin shares numerous pentapeptides (68, including multiple occurrences) with 42 human proteins that, when altered, have been associated with epilepsy.

Abstract Objective Conditions presenting with both epilepsy and movement disorders (EPIMDs) range from relatively benign cases to severe developmental encephalopathies. However, the full clinical and genetic spectrum still needs to be better defined.

Common Missense Variant of SCN9A Gene Is Associated with Pain Intensity in Patients with Chronic Pain from Disc Herniation [PDF]
Lumbar intervertebral disk herniation (LDH) is considered one of the major risk factors for lower back pain, mainly caused by irritation of a spinal nerve or its root. One of the genes related to pain perception is SCN9A, which encodes the voltage gated sodium channel NaV1.7, a key molecule involved in peripheral pain processing.

Development and External Validation of a Genetic Risk Score for Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Objective Several single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with chronic pain syndromes. Our objective was to determine whether genetic variants are associated with pain and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Participants were included from two independent RA cohorts: FORWARD (National Databank for Rheumatic ...
