A Novel SCN9A Gene Mutation in a Patient with Carbamazepine-Resistant Paroxysmal Extreme Pain Disorder
نویسنده
چکیده
Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutation of the SCN9A gene. In most cases, the pain is relieved by carbamazepine. We report on a novel SCN9A mutation associated with carbamazepine-resistant. The proband was a 7-month-old child who suffered from typical attacks from birth onwards. Sequencing of SCN9A revealed a heterozygous c.4880T>G substitution. Identification of this novel mutation and characterization of the associated carbamazepine-resistant phenotype may facilitate diagnosis and drug development.

متن کاملChronic non-paroxysmal neuropathic pain - Novel phenotype of mutation in the sodium channel SCN9A gene.
BACKGROUND Gain-of-function mutations in the SCN9A gene (encoding to NaV1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel) cause two rare paroxysmal pain disorders: inherited erythromelalgia (IEM) and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEDP). These phenotypes are characterized by episodic extreme localized pain with cutaneous autonomic signs. So far, no other phenotypes have been associated with mutation in the ...

متن کاملSCN9A Mutations in Paroxysmal Extreme Pain Disorder: Allelic Variants Underlie Distinct Channel Defects and Phenotypes
Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD), previously known as familial rectal pain (FRP, or OMIM 167400), is an inherited condition characterized by paroxysms of rectal, ocular, or submandibular pain with flushing. A genome-wide linkage search followed by mutational analysis of the candidate gene SCN9A, which encodes hNa(v)1.7, identified eight missense mutations in 11 families and 2 sporadic ca...
متن کاملp.L1612P, a novel voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 mutation inducing a cold sensitive paroxysmal extreme pain disorder.
BACKGROUND Mutations in the SCN9A gene cause chronic pain and pain insensitivity syndromes. We aimed to study clinical, genetic, and electrophysiological features of paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD) caused by a novel SCN9A mutation. METHODS Description of a 4-generation family suffering from PEPD with clinical, genetic and electrophysiological studies including patch clamp experiments ...
