Adiponectin () gene variants and haplotypes in Saudi Arabian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a case-control study.

The aim of this study is to assess the association of nine SNPs on on the PCOS risk among Saudi Arabian Women. A case-control study, including 162 cases and 162 controls in Saudi Arabia, was enrolled. Genotyping was carried out by the allelic discrimination method.

Impact of variants on type-2 diabetes risk genes identified through genomewide association studies in polycystic ovary syndrome: a case-control study.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in females, and is associated with altered metabolic processes in particular insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. PCOS shares with type-2 diabetes (T2D) a number of features, including beta cell dysfunction, impaired glucose tolerance and dyslipidaemia. Recently, genomewide association studies (GWAS) have reported a number of genes with reproducible associations and susceptibilities to T2D.
