SCN9A is a key player in various rare monogenic pain disorders, including absence of pain or extreme pain, indicating that SCN9A is critical in human pain perception. This study aimed to investigate the association between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SCN9A and basal pain sensitivity variability in the general population. We used a combined tag and candidate SNP approach to explore possible associations between SCN9A SNPs and basal pain sensitivity in 309 healthy female Chinese undergraduates. Mechanical and heat pain sensitivity were measured, and a total of 28 SNPs were included in the final correlation analysis. Four candidate SNPs (rs6746030, rs7595255, rs12622743, and rs11898284) and 10 tag SNPs were associated (P < .05) with different pain perception phenotypes and exhibited opposite effects, resulting in either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity. Furthermore, of all these SNPs, rs16851778 showed the strongest significant (P=.003) association with lower mechanical pain sensitivity, which was strengthened in a subsequent replication sample with 260 young patients scheduled for elective gynecological surgery. These findings provided evidence that the variability of basal pain sensitivity was associated with SCN9A polymorphisms in the general population. Perspective: This study demonstrated that several candidate and tag SCN9A SNPs were associated with hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to basal experimental pain stimulation. Moreover, we identified a novel SNP, ie, rs16851778, that was associated with lower mechanical pain sensitivity and that was strengthened in a subsequent replication sample.
