The document summarizes research on congenital insensitivity to pain in Norrbotten, Sweden. It describes:
- A family in Vittangi with a mutation in the nerve growth factor beta gene causing insensitivity to pain. Homozygous individuals have no deep pain sensation.
- Affected individuals experience fractures and joint deformities without pain. They develop Charcot joints in knees and feet from an early age.
- The condition was traced back to a family that immigrated to the area in the 1600s, resulting in consanguinity that concentrated the genetic mutation.

8. Pain function The ability to experience pain is essential for protection from injury, and recognition of the presence of injury. Pain is considered as highly subjective
9. Pain definition Ìý Pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage".
11. Pain classification Nociceptive pain is pain in which normal nerves transmit information to the central nervous system about trauma to tissues (nocere = to injure, Latin). Neuropathic pain is pain in which there are structural and/or functional nervous system adaptations secondary to injury, that take place either centrally or peripherally (Jensen, 1996). Much of what has previously been considered psychogenic pain is now better understood as neuropathic pain of central origin. The IASP defines central pain as "pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the central nervous system" (Merskey, and Bogduk, 1994). "Neuropathic" should not be confused with "neurogenic", a term used to describe pain resulting from injury to a peripheral nerve but without necessarily implying any "neuropathy".

14. Congenital insensitivity to pain Norrbottnian type Since the 1960’s a few isolated cases have been known in Norrbotten. In the late 1980’s a few additional cases were discovered in a certain family in the Vittangi area in Norrbotten.
15. Congenital insensitivity to pain Norrbottnian type The study was initiated when I met two adult patients, a mother and her son both with Charcot joints in the knee and ankle without an explanatory diagnosis. Shortly thereafter, a young boy was admitted to the orthopedic floor of Gällivare hospital with painless foot fractures, noted by his mother as a swollen foot. The correct diagnosis escaped us for a long time, until another patient with a similar clinical presentation turned up.
16. Congenital insensitivity to pain Norrbottnian type The affected family resides in the Vittangi area of Norrbotten. The family emanated from southern Finland and immigrated in the 1600s. The earliest immigrant was a juryman in the small village of Pello along Tornio River at the Finnish border, who died in 1549. The index person was the founder of Vittangi village in the 1600s. He stemmed from the immigrant family in Pello. As in other isolated remote communities, consanguinity was common. It is likely that the disorder followed the migrants settling in Tornio valley.
