GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO PCOS Predisposition to developing polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS )

Abstract

The genetic component appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. This means that each child has a 50% chance of inheriting. The genetic variant(s) can be inherited from either the father or the mother, and can be passed along to both sons and daughters. Current understanding of the pathogenesis of the syndrome suggests, that it is a complex multigenic disorder (a genetic problem caused by more abnormalities in the genetic information DNA).
