Summary

Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a condition with several causes of which some remain unknown. It is believed that some types of CP may be genetic or passed down (inherited) from one generation to the next.

In this study, we are collecting genetic material and medical information to try to determine if genetic factors play a role in CP/CPPS. We will be collecting DNA (from Blood/Saliva sample) and urine from each participant. Bladder tissue from affected individuals will also be collected. Individuals and families with CP/CPPS will be enrolled. Family members of an individual with CP/CPPS are eligible whether or not they also experience CP/CPPS symptoms.

Conditions

  • Chronic Prostatitis (CP)
  • Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)
  • Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS)
  • Benign Frequency Syndrome (BFS)
  • Interstitial Cystitis
