Abstract excerpt

Insulin resistance is one of the main characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and is probably genetically predisposed. Possible associations of variable nucleotide tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism of the insulin gene (INS) with insulin resistance and PCOS in Slovene patients were investigated. A total of 117 PCOS patients and 108 age-matched female controls were genotyped for the INS VNTR...
