The (TAAAA)n microsatellite polymorphism in the SHBG gene influences serum SHBG levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Human reproduction (Oxford, England) - 1 Apr 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hyperandrogenaemia is a common feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) gene was proposed as being a PCOS candidate gene. A possible influence of the microsatellite polymorphism (TAAAA)(n) in the SHBG gene on serum SHBG levels in PCOS patients was investigated. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-three PCOS patients and 110 age-matched controls were included in...
