Thread 'Groundbreaking Study Links DNA Variants to Testosterone Overproduction in PCOS'

Sep 1, 2025

Dr. Dunaif

* For the first time, we have shown how specific inherited DNA variants in PCOS change gene activity and increase testosterone production. That moves us from statistical association to biological mechanism.

Research could pave way for new therapies to treat polycystic ovary syndrome​
