Predicting risk of bacterial vaginosis: the role of race, smoking and corticotropin-releasing hormone-related genes.

Molecular human reproduction - 1 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most prevalent vaginal disorders in adult women and is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as pre-term birth. Genetic factors, particularly in genes involved in inflammation and infection, are associated with this condition. Additionally, environmental risk factors including stress and smoking are associated with BV. The purpose of this study was to identify...
