ABSTRACT: Background
Sodium channels located in the dorsal root ganglion, particularly Nav1.7 and Nav1.8, encoded by SCN9A and SCN10A, respectively, act as molecular gatekeepers for pain detection. Our aim was to determine the association between TIPN and SCN9A and SCN10A polymorphisms.Methods
Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SCN9A and two in SCN10A were investigated using whole-genome genotyping data from 186 Japanese breast or ovarian cancer patients classified into two groups as follows: cases that developed taxane-induced grade 2-3 neuropathy (N = 108) and controls (N = 78) with grade 0-1 neuropathy. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate associations between TIPN and SNP genotypes.Results
SCN9A-rs13017637 was a significant predict
