Families with inherited pain disorders caused by a mutation in a single gene are rare. Nevertheless, genetic analyses of such families have revealed important insights into the pain system.
This webinar will review:
The methods used to identify genes underlying human monogenic pain disorders
The diverse phenotypes associated with mutations in the Nav1.7 voltage gated sodium channel
Recent developments in our understanding of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain
Organized by:
Abcam
