Abstract
Pain-related fear is determined by many factors, but genetic ones have been under-explored. The Fear of Pain Questionnaire-9 was used to assess phenotypic variation for a genome-wide association study (n = 990). Associations of fear of minor pain with several genes were identified: TMEM65, NEFM, NEFL, AGPAT4, and PARK2.
