Abstract
Chronic back pain (CBP) is a disabling condition with a lifetime prevalence of 40% and a substantial socioeconomic burden. Because of the high heterogeneity of CBP, subphenotyping may help to improve prediction and support personalized treatment of CBP. To investigate CBP subphenotypes, we decomposed its genetic background into a shared one common to other chronic pain conditions (back, neck, hip, knee, stomach, and head pain) and unshared genetic background specific to CBP. We identified and replicated 18 genes with shared impact across different chronic pain conditions and two genes that were specific for CBP. Among people with CBP, we demonstrated that polygenic risk scores accounting for the shared and unshared genetic backgrounds of CBP may underpin different CBP subphenotypes. These subphenotypes are characterized by varying genetic predisposition to diverse medical conditions and interventions such as diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, diagnostic endoscopic procedures, and surgery involving muscles, bones, and joints.
期刊介绍:
Human Molecular Genetics concentrates on full-length research papers covering a wide range of topics in all aspects of human molecular genetics. These include:
the molecular basis of human genetic disease
developmental genetics
cancer genetics
neurogenetics
chromosome and genome structure and function
therapy of genetic disease
stem cells in human genetic disease and therapy, including the application of iPS cells
genome-wide association studies
mouse and other models of human diseases
functional genomics
computational genomics
In addition, the journal also publishes research on other model systems for the analysis of genes, especially when there is an obvious relevance to human genetics.
