Abstract:Background PCOS is a common worldwide endocrine disorder. We aimed to examine the associations of two mtDNA biomarkers in the peripheral blood, mtDNA CN and mtDNA4977 DR, with PCOS in a clinical setting.Methods We performed a study involving 263 women with PCOS and 326 age-matched controls between January 2016 and December 2018. The mtDNA CN and mtDNA4977 DR were measured via a multiplex probe-based qPCR. The associations of mtDNA CN and mtDNA DR with the risk of PCOS were estimated by logistic regression.Resu… Show more
