No, it is Gain-of-Function Mutation in TRPA1.
A point mutation in the S4 transmembrane segment of TRPA1, a key sensor for environmental
irritants, causes Familial Episodic Pain Syndrome. The mutant channel showed a normal pharmacological profile but altered biophysical properties, with a 5-fold increase in inward current on activation at normal resting potentials.
Check out the fine paper and video that explains the discovery:
