MENA 2024 Recordings-Association of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Candidate Gene Variants with Cardiovascular Disease

Association of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Candidate Gene Variants with Cardiovascular Disease

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation focused on examining the association of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) gene variants with cardiovascular disease. The study involved Omani women with PCOS, using selected gene variants (LEPR, FSHR, YALP1) to explore their link to metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk. It identified a higher likelihood of cardiovascular disease among women with specific gene variants. PCOS women with metabolic syndrome were more prone to hypertension, particularly those with phenotype A and D. The research emphasized the genetic and phenotypic factors influencing cardiovascular risks in PCOS patients and acknowledged the contribution of the research team.
