Essential genetic link between chronic discomfort conditions like IBS discovered
Researchers at King’s College Greater london have discovered a link between four common chronic pain syndromes (CPS), suggesting that some people may be genetically predisposed to suffer from conditions of this type. The study, published in the journal Pain, examined identical and non-identical twins and established that IBS, musculoskeletal discomfort, pelvic pain and dry eyes disease may have hereditary links. Headache was shown, as previously, to have a degree of genetic susceptibility but was not really genetically linked to the other conditions.
