Depression and Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genetic variants are associated with pain in Parkinson’s disease
Abstract 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, rs...
