Exome sequencing identifies a novel gene, WNK1, for susceptibility to pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common gynecological disorder; however, the genetic components remain largely unidentified. Exome sequencing has been widely used to identify pathogenic gene mutations of several diseases because of its high chromosomal coverage and accuracy. In this study, we perfor...
