Polycystic ovary syndrome dependency on mtDNA mutation; copy Number and its association with insulin resistance.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Study analyzes mutation in mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) among diabetic women with PCOS in non-diabetic diabetic women and compared with the healthy control. Women with known case of hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and/or polycystic ovaries were selected and anthropometric and demographic variables were collected during their clinical visit. Biochemical estimation of glucose, FSH, LH, estradiol (E2), and insulin levels were analyzed. Mutational analysis of mt-tRNA genes of each individual was compared with the updated consensus Cambridge sequence. The mtDNA content was determined in triplicate using SYBR green PCR mastermix.

Results

The clinical and biochemical characteristics of participants showed no statistical difference in age and/or FSH, PRL, E2, PRGE or
