Can Heterogeneity of Chronic Sickle-Cell Disease Pain Be Explained by Genomics? A Literature Review
Biological Research For Nursing, 06/25/09

Adegbola MA - Chronic pain generally is more prevalent and severe than previously reported, and individuals with SCD report daily pain. The genomic era has made it possible for scientists to identify pain susceptibility genes that contribute to variability in the interindividual experience of chronic pain. Nurses are well positioned to generate and translate genomic research, thus improving care delivery. Such research may lead to the identification of polymorphisms associated with pain sensitivity in individuals with SCD.
