Evidence for a genetic basis for hyperandrogenemia in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 8 Dec 1998

Legro R S, Driscoll D, Strauss J F, Fox J, Dunaif A

Abstract excerpt

Our preliminary family studies have suggested that some female first-degree relatives of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have hyperandrogenemia per se. It was our hypothesis that this may be a genetic trait and thus could represent a phenotype suitable for linkage analysis. To investi...
