Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex genetic disorder with many genetic loci contributing small risk. Large genome-wide association studies identified 21 genetic risk loci for PCOS in European and Han Chinese women. The genetic architecture is similar across PCOS diagnostic categories. The next wave of analysis will incorporate large genotyped datasets linked to medical records, increasing numbers and ethnic subsets. The resulting genetic risk loci can then be used to create robust genetic risk scores enhanced with clinical information, environment and lifestyle data for a precision medicine approach to PCOS diagnosis and treatment.Entities:
