DNA methylation and its impact on ovarian steroidogenesis in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: insights from human and animal models
23 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To review how DNA methylation affects ovarian steroidogenesis in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with evidence from human and animal studies. RECENT FINDINGS: Women with PCOS show global DNA hypomethylation and altered methylation of ovarian steroidogenic genes, contributing to hyperandrogenism. Animal models of PCOS mirror these epigenetic changes and support a causal role, highlighting DNA...
