The Occurrence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Among Women Who Experienced Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury

Israel93 participantsStarted 2020-09-04

Plain-language summary

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) in connective tissue components are associated with increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The investigators expect to find a difference in SNP's frequency between women who had Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) and in the healthy population. The fact that pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and OASIS occurs in the same anatomic region and the well-known association between few SNP's and the risk for POP, suggests for a common pathophysiology.
