Gene expression in urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse: a review of literature.

Purpose Of Review: To review current evidence on gene expression in women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Recent Findings: Our literature review revealed numerous genes that are associated with urinary incontinence and POP. For overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence, four genes were highlighted: adrenergic receptor β3, Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 10, Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2, and potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member-1.
