Aim: To investigate the association of LEPR polymorphisms and plasma leptin and soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R) levels with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Chinese women.
Patients & Methods: LEPR Lys109Arg (rs1137100) and Gln223Arg (rs1137101) polymorphisms of PCOS patients and the controls were genotyped. Plasma leptin and sOB-R levels of two groups were measured.
Objectives: Although family planning in China has changed gradually since 1994, there are few studies about family planning and women's reproductive rights.
