Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We sought to comprehensively evaluate the association of laminin gamma-1 (LAMC1) and advance pelvic organ prolapse. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a candidate gene association of patients (n = 239) with stages III-IV prolapse and controls (n = 197) with stages 0-I prolapse. We used a linkage disequilibrium (LD)-tagged approach to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in LAMC1 and focused on...
