Bladder neck mobility is a heritable trait.
OBJECTIVE Congenital connective tissue dysfunction may partly be responsible for female pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. We undertook a heritability study to determine whether mobility of the bladder neck, one of the main determinants of stress urinary incontinence, is genetically influenced. DESIGN Heritability study using a twin model and structural equation modelling. SETT...
متن کاملHeritable variation in a family-diagnostic trait.
Derived characters that have not changed during the diversification of a clade provide traits that are diagnostic at higher taxonomic levels. The tetradynamous stamen condition (four long and two short stamens) of the Brassicaceae is an example of a diagnostic trait that has not changed during the diversification of this large flowering plant family. We investigated one hypothesis that might ex...
متن کاملIncontinence, bladder neck mobility, and sphincter ruptures in primiparous women
OBJECTIVE To compare the function of the pelvic floor in primiparae before and during pregnancy with the status post partum concerning symptoms of incontinence, sphincter ruptures, bladder-neck mobility and the influence of the different modes of deliveries. METHODS Questionnaire evaluating symptoms of urinary and anal incontinence in nulliparous women before and after delivery and correlatin...
متن کاملPersistent Staphylococcus aureus Colonization Is Not a Strongly Heritable Trait in Amish Families
About 20% of adults are persistently colonized with S. aureus in the anterior nares. Host genetic factors could contribute susceptibility to this phenotype. The objective of this study was to determine whether the phenotype of persistent S. aureus colonization aggregates in family members who live in different households. Healthy adults and their eligible same sex siblings who lived in differen...
متن کاملIs survival time after hemorrhage a heritable, quantitative trait?: an initial assessment.
Enhancing survival to hemorrhage of both civilian and military patients is a major emphasis for trauma research. Previous observations in humans and outbred rats show differential survival to similar levels of hemorrhage. In an initial attempt to determine potential genetic components of such differential outcomes, survival time after a controlled hemorrhage was measured in 15 inbred strains of...
