Disclosed herein are methods for determining whether a subject possesses altered pain sensitivity an altered risk of developing acute or chronic pain, or diagnosing a tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-related disorder or a propensity thereto. These methods are based on the discovery of GCHl and KCNSl allelic variants that are associated with altered pain sensitivity and altered risk of developing acute or chronic pain, and the discovery that a GCHl "pain protective haplotype" is associated with decreased upregulation of BH4 synthesis in treated leukocytes.

La présente invention concerne des procédés de détermination chez un patient d~une sensibilité altérée à la douleur, d~un risque altéré de développement de douleur aiguë ou chronique ou de diagnostic d~un trouble lié à la tétrahydrobioptérine (BH4) ou une propension en découlant. Ces procédés se basent sur la découverte de variations alléliques de GCHl et KCNSl qui sont associées à une sensibilité altérée à la douleur et au risque altéré de développer une peine aiguë ou chronique, et à la découverte qu~un « haplotype protecteur de douleur » est associé à une régulation à la hausse de la synthèse BH4 des leucocytes traitées.
