Abstract excerpt
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) represents a urologic and gynecological disease, the development of which is governed both by environmental and genetic factors. We describe the results of our association study of polymorphic variants of genes involved in the assembly of elastic fibrils, namely, the lysyl oxidase protein 1 (LOXL1) and fibulin-3 (FBLN3) genes. We revealed an association of the rs2304719-T allele and...
