Transgenerational transmission of reproductive and metabolic dysfunction in the male progeny of polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract excerpt

The transgenerational maternal effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in female progeny are being revealed. As there is evidence that a male equivalent of PCOS may exists, we ask whether sons born to mothers with PCOS (PCOS-sons) transmit reproductive and metabolic phenotypes to their male progeny.
