Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common condition with no known cure. It is estimated that every 15 seconds, a man in the USA is diagnosed with CP/CPPS. Studies have suggested that the condition may be genetic and passed down (or inherited) from one generation to the next.
In this study we are comparing different families' samples and medical information to determine which genetic factors may play a role in CP/CPPS. We will be collecting DNA and urine from each participant. Individuals and families with CP/CPPS will be enrolled. Family members are eligible with or without CP/CPPS symptoms

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Family-Based, Prospective |
DNA sample via saliva and urine samples will be collected and stored.
Estimated Enrollment: | 500 |
Study Start Date: | January 2007 |

To further describe the phenotype of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and to correlate the phenotypic information with the genotypic findings utilizing linkage analysis and candidate gene studies. A North American cohort and a Bulgarian cohort will be recruited. Each individual participant will be required to give a DNA sample (via Saliva) and a urine sample. All samples will be stored.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 8 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
We are collecting individuals and families with symptoms and diagnoses of CP/CPPS and their family members (with or without symptoms) from North America (United States and Canada)
