Scientists discovered that if the Tresk gene was mutated, patients would easily feel pain, even become very sensitive to light and sound.
The results showed that Tresk gene controls the sensitivity of pain processing signals in the brain.
When the Tresk gene is mutated, the body will have a little change through which it will feel pain.
Scientist Zamir Kader of Oxford University said the discovery not only helped treat migraine phenomenon, but also hoped to produce a drug that affects the mutant Tresk gene, thereby helping humans. not suffering.
