Progress in our understanding of the roles of genetics in pain and its management is described. New techniques are discussed, along with some potential uses of gene therapy. Relative gene expression, polymorphisms, and specific genes that influence interindividual responses to pharmacotherapy for pain are described.

Introduction: Despite progress in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treatment, challenges persist in medication adherence due to side effects and costs. Precision nutrition, particularly adjusting fatty acid intake, offers a cost-effective strategy for enhancing SLE management. Prior research, including our own, indicates that increased consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) correlates with improved outcomes in SLE patients.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint swelling, pain, and bone remodeling. We previously reported that autotaxin (ATX) deficiency disrupts lipid rafts in macrophages. Lipid raft disruption results in the dysregulation of RANK signaling, which is crucial for osteoclastogenesis and the pathogenesis of RA.

Background: Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like cells, causing chronic pelvic pain, adhesions and impaired fertility in women of reproductive age. Usually, these lesions grow in the peritoneal cavity in a hypoxic environment. Hypoxia is known to affect gene expression and protein kinase (PK) activity.

Background And Purpose: Pathogenic variants in the RYR1 gene have been associated with a variety of conditions, ranging from congenital myopathy to adult manifestations. Our aim was to characterize the p.Leu2286Val variant in 17 Basque patients, to accurately determine its correlation with clinical features and to explore the possible founder effect of the variant.
