neuropathy is one of the most important dose-limiting toxicity of this drug. It occurs in around
60–80% of the patients, and 15% of them develop severe neuropathy. The pathophysiology
of oxaliplatin neurotoxicity remains unclear. SCN9A is a gene codifying for a subtype sodium
channel (type IX, subunit α) and mutations in this gene are involved in neuropathic
perception. In this study we investigated whether SCN9A genetic variants were associated …
