Evaluation of Digit Ratios in Youth With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
This study demonstrates that PCOS patients have significantly lower both-hand 2D:4D ratios than healthy controls, suggesting prenatal androgen exposure. Recognizing anatomic markers in adolescence may predict the development of PCOS. The findings align with previous research linking low digit ratios to androgen exposure and various reproductive outcomes.
