Polymorphisms of vascular cell adhesion molecule1 (VCAM1) in polycystic ovary syndrome determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and melting curve analysis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy associated with increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Low-grade chronic inflammation and imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis.
