Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Few candidate genes for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are widely agreed upon largely due to lack of replication. Type 6 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17B6) gene expression is increased in PCOS ovarian theca. Previous genetic study of HSD17B6 reported significant association of rs898611 with PCOS risk and metabolic phenotypes. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to replicate association between...
