Genetics and pain.
Progress in our understanding of the roles of genetics in pain and its management is described. New techniques are discussed, along with some potential uses of gene therapy. Relative gene expression, polymorphisms, and specific genes that influence interindividual responses to pharmacotherapy for pain are described.
