Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) is a protease associated with degradation of collagen and elastin. Because increased MMP9 activity in vaginal tissue has been associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), we sought to comprehensively estimate MMP9 genetic variants and the risk for advanced prolapse. METHODS: This is a candidate gene association study of women with stage III-IV prolapse (case group,...
