Article Abstract
Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly complex disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Previous association studies have identified multiple PCOS-susceptible loci, but there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further investigations.
Methods: In the present case-control study, FSHR gene variants (rs2268361, rs6165, and rs6166), LHCGR gene variant (rs13405728), THADA gene variant (rs13429458), DENND1A gene variants (rs10818854 and rs2479106), and INSR gene variants (rs2059807 and rs1799817) were genotyped with Sanger sequencing in a total of 400 PCOS women and 480 healthy women.
Results: After Bonferroni correction, our results showed that rs13405728, rs13429458, rs2479106, rs10818854, and rs2059807 were significantly associated with PCOS risk in Chinese women. To improve the statistical strength, a further meta-analysis in Asian population was conducted. Although rs6166 and rs1799817 were not associated with PCOS risk in the present study, they were identified to be strongly associated with PCOS risk in the pooled Koreans and Chinese respectively. No significant association with PCOS risk was consistently found for rs2268361 or rs6165. Moreover, the pooled results further confirmed the significant association with PCOS risk for rs13405728, rs13429458, rs2479106, rs10818854, and rs2059807.
Conclusions: Collectively, the rs6166, rs13405728, rs13429458, rs2479106, rs10818854, rs2059807, and rs1799817 may indeed be the genetic risk factors for PCOS in Asian population, which requires further investigation using larger independent sets of samples in different ethnic populations.

Changes in antral follicle dynamics following weight loss in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Hum Reprod
September 2025
Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA.
Study Question: Does weight loss from a hypocaloric dietary intervention improve antral follicle dynamics in women with PCOS?
Summary Answer: During a 3-month hypocaloric dietary intervention, women with PCOS who experienced clinically meaningful weight loss showed more organized antral follicle development including fewer recruitment events, but no change in the overall frequency of selection, dominance, or ovulation.
What Is Known Already: There is a spectrum of disordered antral follicle development in women with PCOS including excessive follicle recruitment and turnover, decreased frequency of selection and dominance, and failure of ovulation. Lifestyle intervention aimed at weight loss is recommended to improve metabolic health in women with PCOS yet benefits on ovarian follicle development and ovulation are unclear.
Safety of Acupuncture in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Introduction: Acupuncture has emerged as an effective adjunctive therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with concern on the higher rate of adverse events (AE). In addition, timing of intervention, specific acupoints, and stimulation strength are concerning, as high-stimulation electroacupuncture (EA) may increase miscarriage risk. This review aims to systematically evaluate the safety profile of acupuncture in PCOS.

Research Question: What is the global, regional and national burden of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), particularly in adolescents, based on data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study?
Design: Prevalence, incidence and years lived with disability (YLD) for PCOS were extracted from the GBD 2021 database, standardized via Bayesian meta-regression, and stratified by age, region and Socio-Demographic Index (SDI). Temporal trends (1990-2021) were presented, and future projections (to 2045) were modelled using autoregressive integrated moving average models.
Results: Between 1990 and 2021, the global prevalence of PCOS increased from 36.

Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common gynecologic cancers worldwide. The condition typically occurs after menopause; however, young women under the age of 40 years can also be diagnosed with the disease. Providers may delay diagnosis in young patients due to nonspecific presentation or low clinical suspicion.

Importance: Pregnant individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) present with a higher risk of pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth. Myo-inositol supplementation may reduce these risks.
Objective: To determine whether daily supplementation with myo-inositol during pregnancy among individuals with PCOS reduces the risk of a composite outcome of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth.
