Fibulin-5 is a connective tissue component and may play a role in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) pathogenesis. This study aimed to verify the association of the rs2018736 polymorphism of the fibulin-5 gene with POP in postmenopausal Brazilian women, and to determine the risk factors for POP.
This observational, cross-sectional, case-control study assessed postmenopausal women with advanced POP (stages III and IV) and control women (stages 0 and I) by examination and peripheral blood sample collection. DNA sequences were analyzed by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. A logistic regression model was used with < 0.05 for significance.
A total of 565 participants were evaluated (325 POP and 240 control). The homozygous C allele of rs2018736 (CC) was protective against POP (odds ratio [OR] 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26-0.91). Age (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05-1.13), number of pregnancies (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.01-1.28), vaginal delivery (OR 5.32, 95% CI 2.58-11.01), forceps delivery (OR 3.34, 95% CI 1.72-6.47), weight of newborn (OR 1.0007, 95% CI 1.0002-1.0011), family history of POP (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.24-4.44), hypertension (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.01-3.00) and diabetes (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.07-4.48)] were independent predictors for POP; cesarean (OR 0.02, 95% CI 0.005-0.09) was protective.
The rs2018736-CC genotype of the fibulin-5 gene has a protective role against POP.
纤连蛋白 5 是一种结缔组织成分,可能在盆腔器官脱垂(POP)发病机制中发挥作用。本研究旨在验证纤维连接蛋白 5 基因 rs2018736 多态性与绝经后巴西女性 POP 的关联,并确定 POP 的危险因素。
本研究为观察性、横断面、病例对照研究,通过检查和外周血样采集评估患有晚期 POP(III 期和 IV 期)的绝经后女性和对照组女性(0 期和 I 期)。通过实时逆转录酶聚合酶链反应分析 DNA 序列。使用 logistic 回归模型,显著性水平为 < 0.05。
共评估了 565 名参与者(325 名 POP 和 240 名对照组)。rs2018736 的纯合 C 等位基因(CC)对 POP 有保护作用(比值比 [OR] 0.49,95%置信区间 [CI] 0.26-0.91)。年龄(OR 1.09,95%CI 1.05-1.13)、妊娠次数(OR 1.14,95%CI 1.01-1.28)、阴道分娩(OR 5.32,95%CI 2.58-11.01)、产钳分娩(OR 3.34,95%CI 1.72-6.47)、新生儿体重(OR 1.0007,95%CI 1.0002-1.0011)、POP 家族史(OR 2.35,95%CI 1.24-4.44)、高血压(OR 1.74,95%CI 1.01-3.00)和糖尿病(OR 2.19,95%CI 1.07-4.48)是 POP 的独立预测因素;剖宫产(OR 0.02,95%CI 0.005-0.09)有保护作用。
