Association of FTO Gene Variant rs9939609 with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome from Gujarat, India
BMC Medical Genomics, 2023 Abstract Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a multifactorial endocrine disorder that affects reproductive-age women. Obesity and insulin resistance are well-known risk factors for PCOS. We investigated the frequency of rs9939609 in the FTO gene in women with PCOS and healthy controls and its relationship with metabolic traits and ...
