There is one clinical trial.
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).
Eight polymorphic SNPs in the three different genes suspected to be involved in LPV has been examined as follow: 1. HSPE gene: Four polymorphic SNPs: rs4693608, rs11099592, rs6856901 and rs4364254 that were found to be informative in the Ashkenazi Jewish population 2. TRPV1 gene: Two polymorphic SNPs: rs222747 and rs8065080.
Description: 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).
Measure: Genetic association of Vulvodynia Time: four years
