Dataset Information

FSH receptor gene p. Thr307Ala and p. Asn680Ser polymorphisms are associated with the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene p. Thr307Ala (c.919A>G, rs6165) and p. Asn680Ser (c.2039A>G, rs6166) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods

Genotyping was performed in 377 women with PCOS and 388 age-matched controls. Difference in the genotype distribution was assessed using a Fisher's exact or chi-square test, and continuous variables were compared using a Student's t test. To evaluate the association between the presence of PCOS status and SNP, logistic regression analyses were performed.

Results

Linkage disequilibrium between the two polymorphisms was approximately complete (r ² = 99%). The genotype distributions of the PCOS group significantly differed from those of the control group (Thr/Thr, Thr/Ala, and Ala/Ala frequencies were 38.5, 46.7, and 14.9% for the PCOS group and 46.6, 45.4, and 8.0% for the controls, respectively, P = .005; Asn/Asn, Asn/Ser, and Ser/Ser frequencies were 39.5, 47.2, and 13.3% for the PCOS group and 46.4, 45.4, and 8.2% for the controls, respectively, P = .035). Using the wild-type genotypes as the references, the odds ratios that a woman has PCOS were 2.23 (95% confidence intervals 1.38-3.68) for the Ala/Ala genotype, 1.87 (95% confidence intervals 1.14-3.06) for the Ser/Ser genotype, and 1.96 (95% confidence intervals 1.19-3.24) for the homozygous variant combination (Ser/Ser-Ala/Ala). However, there were no significant differences in serum hormonal, ovarian, and metabolic markers according to each genotype.

Conclusions

Findings of this study suggest a significant association between FSHR gene p. Thr307Ala or p. Asn680Ser coding sequence change and PCOS. The variant homozygote genotype results in a higher risk of PCOS.

Project description:BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex multifactorial disorder, affecting millions of women worldwide. The role of genetic polymorphisms of the KISS1 gene on the development of PCOS is still obscure. This study was designed to investigate the probable influence of KISS1 gene polymorphisms on PCOS and its associated variables: BMI, waist-hip ratio, kisspeptin, LH, FSH, and LH-FSH ratio.MethodsThe study comprised 104 PCOS women and 109 controls, with age ranging from 19 to 36 years. BMI, waist-hip ratio, and circulating levels of kisspeptin, LH, and FSH were measured. DNA was extracted, and genotyping of the KISS1 gene was carried out by nucleotide sequencing. The PCOS-associated variables were analyzed in different genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the KISS1 gene.ResultsThe values of waist-hip ratio (WHR), LH, and LH-FSH ratio were significantly higher in PCOS women than controls. BMI, kisspeptin, and FSH levels exhibited no significant difference between the groups. Six novel SNPs of KISS1 gene were identified. Three: rs372790354G > A, rs12998G > A, and rs35431622A > T were investigated. Among these SNPs, the genotype and allele frequencies of rs372790354 showed significant association with PCOS (GA: p = 0.018, AA: p = 0.022, mutant allele-A: p = 0.021) and the G allele was protective. The values of LH, kisspeptin, and WHR of PCOS women were significantly influenced (p < 0.05) by the AA genotype of rs372790354. The other two SNPs rs12998G > A and rs35431622A > T revealed no significant influence on PCOS and associated variables. Haplotypes were constructed, but there was no significant difference between the patients and controls.ConclusionIn conclusion, this is the first study, which reports a significant influence of KISS1 gene polymorphism (rs372790354G > A) on PCOS and its associated variables. However, more extensive research is necessary to confirm these findings.
