Abstract excerpt
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by metabolic, inflammatory, and reproductive dysfunction. We integrated genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, and single-cell expression quantitative trait loci (sc-eQTL) across various immune cells to elucidate the genetic and immune mechanisms underlying PCOS at the cellular level. Finally, we identified 19 risk loci for PCOS,...
