Pain Genetics 
Basic to Translational Science

Pain Genetics: Basic to Translational Science is a
timely synthesis of the key areas of research informing our
understanding of the genetic basis of pain. The book opens with
foundational information on basic genetic mechanisms underlying
pain perception and progresses recently discovered complex concepts
facing the field. The coverage is wide-ranging and will serves as
an excellent entry point into understating the genetics of pain as
well as providing a single resource for established researchers
looking for a better understanding of the diverse strands of
research going on in the area.

With contributors painstakingly selected to provide a broad range
of perspectives and research, Pain Genetics will
be a valuable resource for geneticists, neuroscientists, and
biomedical professionals alike.
