Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Both environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to pelvic organ prolapse (POP). No genome-wide study has investigated the gene-environment (G × E) interactions. In this study, we aim to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may interact with the potential environmental factors, maximum birth weight, and age in Chinese women. METHODS: We recruited 576 women for phase 1 and 264...
