Protein–Protein Interaction Network Analysis Reveals Several Diseases Highly Associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

SNP analysis of follistatin gene associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome

Follistatin has been reported as a candidate gene for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) based on linkage and association studies. In this study, investigation of polymorphisms in the FST gene was done to determine if genetic variation is associated with susceptibility to PCOS. The nucleotide sequence of human follistatin and the protein sequence of human follistatin were retrieved from the NCB...

Investigation of genetic factors associated with polycystic ovary syndrome

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders and causes 75% of infertility due to ovulation disorders in reproductive age. Women with PCOS have oligomenorrhea and hyperandrogenism that affect their quality of life and fertility at the same time. This syndrome has been one of the most controversial endocrine issues for many years. Research today su...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive endocrinopathy of women during their childbearing years. A significant degree of controversy exists regarding the etiology of this syndrome, but there is a growing consensus that the key features include insulin resistance, androgen excess, and abnormal gonadotropin dynamics. Familial and genetic factors cause predisposition to ...
