Abstrakt: Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) etiology remains to be elucidated, but familial clustering and twin studies have shown a strong heritable component.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify rare genetic variants that are associated with the etiology of PCOS in a preselected cohort.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted among a selected group of women with PCOS. The study's inclusion criteria were patients with PCOS diagnosed by the Rotterdam criteria with the following phenotypes: severe insulin resistance (IR), normoandrogenic-normometabolic phenotype, adrenal hyperandrogenism, primary amenorrhea, and familial PCOS. Forty-five patients were studied by target sequencing, while 8 familial cases were studied by whole exome sequencing.
Results: Patients were grouped according to the inclusion criteria with the following distribution: 22 (41.5%) with severe IR, 13 (24.5%) with adrenal hyperandrogenism, 7 (13.2%) with normoandrogenic phenotype, 3 (5.7%) with primary amenorrhea, and 8 (15.1%) familial cases. DNA sequencing analysis identified 1 pathogenic variant in LMNA , 3 likely pathogenic variants in INSR , PIK3R1 , and DLK1 , and 6 variants of uncertain significance level with interesting biologic rationale in 5 genes ( LMNA , GATA4 , NR5A1 , BMP15 , and FSHR ). LMNA was the most prevalent affected gene in this cohort (3 variants).
Conclusion: Several rare variants in genes related to IR were identified in women with PCOS. Although IR is a common feature of PCOS, patients with extreme or atypical phenotype should be carefully evaluated to rule out monogenic conditions.
