Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex heterogenous disorder manifesting with various reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic derangements such as insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. The arginine vasopressin peptide (AVP), also called or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), modulates metabolic functions such as glucose hemostasis, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism via binding to two central and peripheral receptors (AVPR1A and AVPR1B). In the present study, we aimed to detect whether the AVPR1A and AVPR1B genes confer risk for PCOS.
Methods: In peninsular Italian families, we tested 7 variants in the AVPR1B gene and 2 variants in the AVPR1A gene via Pseudomarker for linkage and linkage joint to association (i.e.., linkage disequilibrium) with PCOS.
Results: We identified two risk variants in each gene, significantly associated with the risk of PCOS.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report risk variants in AVPR1A and AVPR1B genes in association with PCOS. However, replication in other ethnic groups as well as functional studies are needed to confirm these results.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Ovarian Research is an open access, peer reviewed, online journal that aims to provide a forum for high-quality basic and clinical research on ovarian function, abnormalities, and cancer. The journal focuses on research that provides new insights into ovarian functions as well as prevention and treatment of diseases afflicting the organ.
Topical areas include, but are not restricted to:
Ovary development, hormone secretion and regulation
Follicle growth and ovulation
Infertility and Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Regulation of pituitary and other biological functions by ovarian hormones
Ovarian cancer, its prevention, diagnosis and treatment
Drug development and screening
Role of stem cells in ovary development and function.
