Objective: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Several candidate genes have been shown to be associated with PCOS. Previous studies have shown that variations in CYP11A1 and CYP19A1 genes are associated with hormonal dysregulation associated with PCOS in different ethnic populations. This study aims to investigate the genomic association between SNPs rs4077582 of CYP11A1 and rs700519 of CYP19A1 and the development of PCOS in Pakistani population.
Methods: A total of 280 subjects were recruited for the study, including 142 PCOS cases diagnosed based on Rotterdam criteria and 138 age-matched controls. The anthropometric, hormonal and biochemical parameters of all subjects were analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted and genotyping of the selected SNPs was performed using Sanger sequencing. Further, we also examined the genotypic-phenotypic correlation analysis for various clinical and biochemical parameters for SNP rs4077582 of CYP11A1.
Results: We found significant differences in allele frequency (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.30-0.60, χ = 16.3693, p = 0.000052) and genotypic frequency (χ = 26.4376, p = 0.00001) between PCOS women and controls for SNP rs4077582 of CYP11A1. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis showed a significant difference in FAI (p = 0.005), testosterone (p = 0.001), androstenedione (p = 0.005) and urea (p = 0.049) levels between the three genotypes. No association between SNP rs700519 of CYP19A1 and PCOS was observed.
Conclusion: Our results suggest the role of SNP rs4077582 of CYP11A1 gene in the clinical manifestation of PCOS in Pakistani women.

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as the failure of two or more clinically recognised pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. The prevalence of clinically evident RPL is 1%-2% worldwide. The aetiologies of RPL include uterine anatomic anomalies, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, untreated hypothyroidism, parental chromosomal abnormalities, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, thrombophilia, genetic abnormalities and infections.

The most common multifactorial endocrine disorder in females of reproductive age is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affecting about 5-10% of females worldwide and 9.3% of females in India. Androgen excess in PCOS is caused as a result of defects in steroidogenesis genes.

The cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1) gene plays an important part in the synthesis of sex hormones and has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome. A case-control study including 314 PCOS patients and 314 controls was conducted to assess the association of the SNPs rs4077582 and rs11632698 in CYP11A1 with PCOS using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Thereafter, 100 DNA samples were re-genotyped by direct sequencing for confirmation.

Objective: To investigate the association between polymorphism of cytochrome P450 subfamily XIA polypeptide 1 (CYP11A1) gene and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in Chinese population.
Methods: From May 2005 to Dec. 2008, 290 PCOS cases treated in the First affiliated hospital of Anhui Medical University matched with 344 reproductive women as controls were enrolled in this study.
