Depression and Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genetic variants are associated with pain in Parkinson’s disease
Pain is a distressing symptom of Parkinson disease (PD). We aim to determine whether the genetic variants of chronic pain-related genes contribute to pain in PD patients. We included 418 PD patients and evaluated pain severity on King’s PD pain scale. We genotyped rs6267, rs6269, rs4633, rs4818 and...

Zusammenfassung: | Pain is a distressing symptom of Parkinson disease (PD). We aim to determine whether the genetic variants of chronic pain-related genes contribute to pain in PD patients. We included 418 PD patients and evaluated pain severity on King’s PD pain scale. We genotyped rs6267, rs6269, rs4633, rs4818 and rs4680 of

. In total, 193 participants (46.2%) experienced pain. Compared to pain-free PD patients, PD patients with pain had an earlier age of onset, longer disease duration, and higher depression and motor severity (
