2010

dbSNP: rs4680
rs4680
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE The findings provide multimeasure and multimethod support for genetic moderation of a maladaptive coping and pain process and suggest that genetic variation in the val(158)met polymorphism may affect fibromyalgia pain through pathways of pain-related cognition. 21130573

2012

dbSNP: rs4680
rs4680
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE These results suggest that SNPs rs4680 and rs4818 of the COMT gene may be associated with fibromyalgia and pain sensitivity in FS Brazilian patients. 21120493

2012

dbSNP: rs4680
rs4680
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Thus, our data show that the val158met polymorphism in the COMT gene contributes significantly to inter-individual differences in neural pain processing: in healthy people, this polymorphism was more related to cognitive aspects of pain processing, whereas BPD patients with reduced pain sensitivity showed an association with activity in brain regions related to affective pain processing. 22247753

2012

2013

dbSNP: rs4680
rs4680
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE This study suggests that the Val158Met polymorphism is associated with the presence of pain in MS, but it is not a risk factor for MS itself because the presence of the Met/Met genotype was more prevalent in those patients with pain. 24290452
