Abstract:Objectives: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the association of CYP11A1 gene (rs4077582), VEGF (rs1570360), CYP21 gene (rs13405728), FTO (rs9939609), THADA (rs13429458) in PCOS patients. The reason behind the study of selected SNPs was that previously in Pakistan no work on these SNPs has been published yet.
Methods: Blood samples of 600 persons including 300 PCOS patients and 300 controls were collected from different hospitals of Sargodha. DNA was extracted from whole blood samples. To study p… Show more
