The association of Pro12Ala polymorphism in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 gene with the metabolic characteristics in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

CONCLUSION: PPARγ2 gene Pro12Ala polymorphism was not supposed to be susceptible genes in PCOS. However, in PCOS patients, the PPAR-gamma Pro12Ala polymorphism may modulate the concentrations of serum fasting TG levels and fat-deposition in abdomen, respectively.
