What About Epigenetics and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
PCOS is a common endocrine disorder that affects ovarian function. Epigenetic modifications, such as altered DNA methylation and non-coding RNA expression, have been observed in women with PCOS. These changes may influence the expression of genes involved in insulin resistance, androgen production, and ovarian follicle development, contributing to the clinical manifestations of PCOS.
