A variant in the SCN10A enhancer may affect human mechanical pain sensitivity
Expression of Nav1.8, encoded by SCN10A, can affect pain transmission and thus mediate the human pain phenotype. In the current study, we assessed whether the variant rs6801957, located in the SCN10A enhancer region, may have the potential to affect human pain. Through dual-luciferase reporter assays in 293T cells, we found that the SCN10A enhancer A (Enh-A) increased the activity of the SCN10A...
متن کاملA SCN10A SNP biases human pain sensitivity
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 and at the dorsal root ganglion, neuronal leve...
متن کاملInterleukin-8 but Not Interleukin-6 Variant May Affect Susceptibility to Brucellosis
Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...
متن کاملA common genetic variant within SCN10A modulates cardiac SCN5A expression.
Variants in SCN10A, which encodes a voltage-gated sodium channel, are associated with alterations of cardiac conduction parameters and the cardiac rhythm disorder Brugada syndrome; however, it is unclear how SCN10A variants promote dysfunctional cardiac conduction. Here we showed by high-resolution 4C-seq analysis of the Scn10a-Scn5a locus in murine heart tissue that a cardiac enhancer located ...
متن کاملDoes a Heterochromatic variant affect the Human Reproductive outcome?
To study the association of chromosomal polymorphic variations with recurrent miscarriage. Recurrent miscarriage becomes a problem that affect an increasing number of couples with the frequency of about 1% in the couples who want to conceive. This study is based on comparison of chromosome Heteromorphism in the karyotypes of two groups. The first group with 400 individuals with the history of m...
