Abstract:In recent years, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) has shown significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. Research has found that SNP variations in different genes are closely related to the susceptibility, pathogenesis, and drug response of various pain-related diseases, such as migraine, small fiber neuropathy, primary erythromelalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis. The c.677C>T mutation in the MTHFR gene of migraine patients leads to impaired folate metabolism, increased homocysteine levels, and subsequently triggers migraines. Mutations in the SCN9A gene are closely related to pain diseases such as small fiber neuropathy and erythromelalgia. In addition, the polymorphisms of genes such as CYP3A4, HLA-B*15:02, CYP2D6, and OPRM1 significantly affect the metabolism and efficacy of drugs like carbamazepine, duloxetine, and opioids in patients. Genetic testing can help identify high-risk patients in personalized drug treatment, optimize drug selection and dosage, improve efficacy, and reduce side effects. In the future, SNP research will further promote the precise diagnosis and personalized treatment of pain, enhancing the quality of life for patients.
