Introduction and hypothesisPelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women is a common condition whose etiology is poorly understood. There is increasing evidence that POP is heritable. The aim of our study was to define and evaluate familial clustering of POP.MethodsUsing a population-based Utah genealogy linked to more than a decade of hospital data, we calculated relative risks (RR) of POP in female relatives of women with POP using age- and birth year-specific rates of POP. We compared the average pairwise relatedness of all POP cases to the population using a measure of genetic distance.ResultsWe identified 1,292 women with diagnostic and procedure codes for POP. The RR of POP was significantly elevated in first- and third-degree female relatives (RR 4.15,p< 0.001; RR 1.24,p= 0.05). The average pairwise relatedness for all individuals with POP was significantly higher than expected (p< 0.001).ConclusionsThese results strongly support a significant heritable contribution to POP.
