Abstract
A (tttta)n microsatellite polymorphism in the promoter of CYP11a gene was investigated in 201 Chinese Han women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 147 control women. The 6/6 genotype was defined with significant difference of CYP11a polymorphism between women with PCOS and control women, and associated with greater BMI in PCOS patients, suggesting a certain role of the six-repeat allele variant in the pathogenesis of Chinese women with PCOS.Entities:
