Localized Provoked Vulvodynia: Association With Nerve Growth Factor and Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 Genes Polymorphisms

Conclusions Our results suggest novel genetic susceptibility to primary LPV associated with specific alleles in genes TRPV1 and NGF and propose the rs222747 “C” allele of TRPV1 as a common genetic predisposition for other pain syndromes.
