Research Abstract

A novel missense mutation of SCN9A, a gene of Nav1.7 causes congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) in a family. When this Nav1.7 mutation was expressed in cultured cells, the Ramp current generated upon gradual depolarization was significantly reduced in the cells. The expression of Nav1.7 was significantly lower in the mutant cells than that in the wild type cells. The Nav1.7 mutation mice mimic the features of CIP in the family,
