Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy that is associated with anovulatory infertility, menstrual disturbances as well as an adverse metabolic profile. Although the pathophysiology of PCOS remains unclear, dysregulation of gene expression has been previously shown in theca and granulosa cells (GC). However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of steroidogenic gene expression in GCs from women with PCOS. In this study, we performed a comprehensive gene...
