Polymorphism of the Insulin Resistin (RETN) gene in susceptibility to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in an Iranian population
Our study found that RETN gene polymorphisms do not appear to play a significant role in PCOS susceptibility in the Iranian population. These results suggest that other genetic or environmental factors may contribute more significantly to the development of PCOS. Further research with larger sample sizes and additional genetic markers is necessary to understand the genetic basis of PCOS fully.
