ABSTRACT:
Methods: The present study used a correlational design to examine the impact of the rs2275913 SNP on postoperative pain-related phenotypes in a group of patients who underwent cosmetic orthognathic surgery.
Results: Carriers of the AA genotype had higher opioid requirements during and after surgery than carriers of the AG and GG genotypes (P = .009). Linear regression analysis indicated that opioid requirements linearly increased as the copy number of the A allele of the SNP increased (P = .008).
Conclusions: Opioid requirements during and after surgery are enhanced in carriers of the AA genotype of the rs2275913 SNP of the IL-17A gene, possibly through an enhancement of IL-17A function that induces inflammation that is related to the inflammatory pain stimulus.

<h4>Aim</h4>Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) plays an essential role in tissue inflammation by inducing proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production and is related to innate immune reactions. IL-17A also contributes to neuroinflammation, neuropathic pain, and mechanical hypersensitivity after peripheral nerve injury in rodents. To clarify the contribution of IL-17A to pain-related phenotypes in humans, we investigated the association between pain-related phenotypes and the rs2275913 single-nucleoti ...[more]
