VDR, CXCR1, CXCR2, PSCA Polymorphisms and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Women: Genetic Association Study

ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the largest study to date, finding no significant associations. Previously reported positive associations may have been due to type 1 error, or genotyping errors. Future studies should adjust for confounders and employ adequate sample sizes. A greater understanding of the genetic components associated with rUTI may influence future treatment guidelines and screening for susceptible patients.
