Venn diagram of literature-curated training genes and enriched pathways associated with acute postoperative pain (PoP) and chronic postoperative pain (CPSP) phenotypes. Upper panel shows the manually curated training gene lists, and the lower panel shows the top enriched pathways. Among the genes included solely in PoP, several had functions influencing drug metabolism (UGT2B7, MAOB, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2D6), inflammation (IL1B, IL6), ion channels (SCN11A, SCN9A, CACNA1A etc.). Other cytokine gene (IL-10/IL-1R) variants were associated with both acute and CPSP, while IL12, IL1 and IL17 variants were involved in CPSP only. There were 12 genes associated with both phenotypes. Common training genes were overrepresented in G-protein signaling, cAMP signaling, neuroactive ligand interaction and serotoninergic pathways (unadjusted p-value and Bonferroni adjusted p values for enrichment are provided).
