Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators are performing a genetic study of patients with multiple hernias (at least 3 primary hernias) versus a healthy control group. This genetic information is compared with circulating and subcutaneously biomarkers such as matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP's).

The hypothesis is that patients with multiple hernias have different expression of specific genes compared to the healthy control group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Other examinations performed on the patients enrolled in this study:

* Ultrasound (US) examination of the abdominal aorta to discover possible abdominal aortic aneurysms.
* Beightons score to evaluate the degree of joint hypermobility.
