Researchers say they have discovered how Jo Cameron's genetic mutation works at molecular level.
The biology underpinning a rare genetic mutation that allows its carrier to live virtually pain-free, heal more rapidly and experience reduced anxiety and fear, has been uncovered by new research from UCL.
Scientists say they have uncovered how a rare genetic mutation allows a woman from the Loch Ness area to feel no pain.
Jo Cameron, 74, is one of just two people on Earth known to carry a special gene that prohibits her from feeling pain, anxiety, or fear- scientists finally believe they understand how it works.
The study, published in Brain, follows up the team's discovery in 2019 of the 'FAAH-OUT' gene and the rare mutations that cause Cameron to feel virtually no pain and never feel anxious or afraid., Health News, Times Now
