“…Elevated levels of PAI-1 have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk and increased thrombogenic tendency [25][26][27]. The higher prevalence of homozygosity 4G/4G and heterozygosity 4G/5G population and its association with higher PAI-1 levels may further increase the cardiovascular risks in this population of young women, as it has been reported in patients who suffer from coronary heart disease [11], venous thromboembolism [27] or type 2 diabetes mellitus [28,29].…”

Purpose Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most encountered endocrine malfunctions. PCOS patients have enhanced activation of the blood coagulation system. Methods Eighty-six young women with PCOS and 70 healthy control women were included in our study. PCOS patients and controls were matched for age, body mass index, and allele frequency. Genetic analysis of TPAI and PAI-1 were performed in all subjects. Results and conclusions No statistically significant differences have been detected about the ratios of genotypes resulting from PAI-1 promotor 4G/5G gene polymorphism. PAI-1 765 4G/5G gene polymorphism and TPA gene's Alurepeat insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism ratios were not different from the controls. In this study it is shown by the analysis of TPA gene's Alu-repeat insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism the PCOS patients with genotype II had lowers total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of 4G5G polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its functional significance. Design: Case-control study. Methods: We studied 98 patients and 64 controls. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip (WHR) ratio were determined. Blood samples were obtained for DNA analysis. PAI-1 plasma levels, serum total testosterone, fasting insulin and fasting glucose were measured and the glucose-to-insulin ratio was estimated in all subjects.Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of PAI-1 gene variations among the groups. The PCOS group had significantly higher 4G/4G and 4G/5G combinations than the control group, whereas there were significantly less 5G/5G. Among the PCOS women, 39.8% had the genotype 4G/4G, 39.8% 4G/5G and 20.4% 5G/5G. From the control group, 20.3% had genotype 4G/4G, 28.1% 4G/5G and 51.6% 5G/5G. In the 4G/4G genotype subgroup 75% were PCOS and 25% were controls, in the 4G/5G were 68.42% and 31.58% and in the 5G/5G were 31.58% and 62.26% respectively. The population of PCOS women had significantly higher PAI-1 levels, WHR, total testosterone, and fasting glucose than the population of controls. Conclusions: 1)The genotypic subtypes 4G/4G and 4G/5G, in PCOS, were present with a statistically higher frequency compared with controls. 2)PCOS women have higher levels of PAI-1 compared with the control group. 3)The presence of the 4G allele in PAI-1 promoter region of the gene further increases the PAI-1 levels. 150 793-798 European Journal of Endocrinology

“…13 Increased PAI-1 levels may favor the accumulation of fibrin on and in the vessel wall as well as the development of atherothrombosis. Several studies have shown a link between increased PAI-1 levels and risk factors for atherothrombosis such as obesity, 14 - 18 in particular android obesity, 19 type II diabetes, 16 - 20 and hyperinsulinemia.…”
