An Alcohol Dehydrogenase 7 Gene Polymorphism Associates with Both Acute and Chronic Pain in Sickle Cell Disease
Pharmacogenomics(2023)
摘要
Introduction: As the most distressing complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), pain is marked by considerable heterogenicity. In this study we explored the potential association of alcohol dehydrogenase 7 gene (ADH7) polymorphism rs971074 with sickle cell pain. Methods: We analyzed clinical phenotypes and the rs971074 single-nucleotide polymorphism in ADH7 by MassARRAY-iPlex analysis in a cohort of SCD patients. Results: The synonymous rs971074 was significantly associated with both acute and chronic pain in SCD. Patients with the minor T allele(s) recorded significantly more crisis episodes and severe chronic pain symptoms. Conclusion: Our study has identified the rs971074 minor T allele as a genetic biomarker potentially influencing acute and chronic pain. These findings may ultimately help inform strategies to develop precision pain therapies in SCD.
