The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of an association between Localized Provoked Vulvodynia (LPV) that is both severe and primary and polymorphic markers/single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in and around the genes encoding heparanase (HSPE-1), Vanilloid Receptor VR1 (TRPV1), and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
The short-term goal proposed for the current study was to investigate the possibility of an association between Localized Provoked Vulvodynia (LPV) that is both severe and primary and polymorphic markers/single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in and around the genes encoding heparanase (HSPE-1), Vanilloid Receptor VR1 (TRPV1), and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
Eight polymorphic SNPs in the three different genes suspected to be involved in LPV has been examined as follow:
