Genetic difference linked to varying pain perception
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows a small genetic variation in SCN9A linked to higher or lower pain perception. Researchers tested 578 osteoarthritis patients and found those with a common SCN9A version reported less pain, while a rarer variant correlated with greater sensitivity across conditions like sciatica phantom pain pancreatitis and back problems. The SCN9A gene encodes a protein in pain nerves that affects signal transmission to the brain.
