Due to the apparent increase in type III collagen mRNA levels in patients with primary inguinal hernia the ratio of type I to type III collagen mRNA levels in these patients were markedly reduced and showed highly significant differences compared to the controls (0.59 ± 0.06 versus 0.90 ± 0.08; p < 0.01).
