Brief Summary

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

Despite the fact that a link between cholesterol and the myometrium has been clearly established, no study investigating aspects of cholesterol metabolism and uterine dystocia currently exists. This study is a pilot study whose aim is to test the hypothesis that an association between uterine dystocia and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes coding for the LXRs.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients undergoing C-section for a dystocia: 2 to 3 hours of stagnation in labor progress are observed (ie no increasing dilation, and uterine contractions less that 3-5 per 10 minutes) in spite of measures taken to overcome dystocia (oxytocin injection and artificial breaking of waters)
* the child is alive
* the child does not have apriori known malformations that could interfere with a vaginal birth
* foetus in cephalic position
* full term pregnancy (\>= 37 weeks of amenorrhea)
* single birth
* patient has signed consent
* patient is affiliated with a social security system

Exclusion Criteria

* vaginal birth
* programmed C-section
* C-section is chosen because the fetus has a cardia rhythm problem, and there is no stagnation in the labor process
* multiple pregnancy
* the child is in a breech position
* premature birth (\<37 weeks amenorrhea)
* in utero fetal death
* fetal malformation known before birth that could interfere with a vaginal birth
* non french-speaking patient (impossible to correctly inform the patient)
* patient under guardianship
