Genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified PCOS susceptibility variants and replicates reported risk variants
ConclusionThe study suggests that multiple variants play an important role in PCOS pathogenesis and emphasizes the importance of further genetic studies among Indian subpopulations.  The study also validates two previously reported SNPs in the Indian population.What this study adds to clinical workStudy summarizes the importance of candidate gene markers validated by replication and in-silico functional study, significantly involved in PCOS pathogenesis in the studied population. These markers can be used in the future as diagnostic markers for clinical phenotype identification. (Source: Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics)

Unmet clinical needs in women with polycystic ovary syndrome in regard to mental health: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionWomen affected by PCOS are not properly managed according to ESHRE guideline in regard to mental health issues. Overall consultation rates and corresponding satisfaction with management were poor, highlighting the need for significant improvements in healthcare provision.

Metformin ameliorates endometrial thickness in a rat model of thin endometrium
In conclusion, the study demonstrated that metformin ameliorates endometrial thickness in a rat model of thin endometrium by increasing endometrial proliferation and angiogenesis, without restoration of embryo implantation.PMID:38621769 | DOI:10.1111/1440-1681.13862 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology)

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 494: Identification of Key Genes and Imbalanced SNAREs Assembly in the Comorbidity of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Depression
Conclusions: Our study suggests that the SNAP23, PRKAR1A, and VTI1A genes can directly or indirectly participate in the imbalanced assembly of SNAREs in the pathogenesis of the comorbidity of PCOS and depression. These findings may provide new strategies in diagnosis and therapy for this comorbidity. (Source: Genes)

Depression, Anxiety, and Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Longitudinal Study
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with PCOS and depression and/or anxiety have a high risk of developing MetSyn, with a stronger association between depression and MetSyn. Our findings highlight the urgent need for guideline-directed screening for depression and anxiety at time of diagnosis of PCOS as well as screening at subsequent visits to facilitate risk stratification for metabolic monitoring and early intervention in this high-risk group.PMID:38609160 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae256 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)
