Review:
Overall, this volume, edited by Jeffrey Mogil, is will written and provides a good overview of the genetics of pain. The new investigator with a basic interest in understanding how genes (and environmental factors) influence pain phenotypes and the seasoned researcher interested in the intricate roles of various receptors in pain phenotypes would benefit from reading this volume. --Melloni N. Cook, Genes, Brain and Behavior (2006) 5:111
...an excellent introduction to the filed for non-geneticists interested in the genetics of pain and ...a valuable entry point into the field of pain research for those already working in genetics. --Simon C. Harvey, Palliative Medicine, 2005 #19
As far as I am aware, there is no comparable volume and certainly none that brings together such expertise and authority in an area of research that is so topical. This book is a tremendous resource at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend it for any medical library and for the shelf of anyone that has an interest in pain medicine and wants to get a handle on what part genetics may play. --P. Siddall, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vol. 33, No. 5, October 2005
