An alpha-1 chain type I collagen Sp1-binding site polymorphism in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence

Article Abstract:

A study to examine the possible influence of G --> T substitution in transcription factor Sp1-binding site in the gene encoding alpha-1 chain type I collagen on the risk of stress urinary incontinence is conducted. The results reveal that the G-T polymorphism at the Sp1 binding site of the gene encoding alpha-1 chain of type 1 collagen is associated with increased risk of stress urinary incontinence in women.
