Abstract
Calpain role has been shown in the cumulus cell-oocyte complexes and, corpus luteum. We investigated the association of calpains-1 and -2 in ovarian folliculogenesis using the Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model and steroidogenesis in the human granulosa cells (hGCs). We induced PCOS in 42-day-old SD rats by letrozole oral gavage for 21 days. Premature ovarian failure (POF) was induced in 21-day-old SD rats by 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD). Ovulation and ovarian hyperstimulatory (OHS) syndrome were induced by pregnant mare gonadotropin (PMSG) + human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) treatments in 21 days SD rats, respectively. Steroidogenesis is stimulated in human granulosa cells (hGCs) by forskolin and the response of 17-beta-estradiol (E2) on calpains expression was checked in hGCs. The protein expression by immunoblotting and activity by biochemical assay of calpains-1 and -2 showed an oscillating pattern in the ovarian cycle. PMSG-induced follicular recruitment showed upregulation of calpains-1 and -2, but with no change during ovarian function cessation (POF). Upregulated calpain-2 expression and calpain activity was found in the hCG +PMSG-induced ovulation. Letrozole-induced PCOS showed downregulation of calpain-1, but upregulation of calpain-2. PMSG+hCG-induced OHS led to the upregulation of calpain-1. Letrozole and metformin separately increased the expression level of calpains-1 and -2 in the hGCs during luteinization. In conclusion, the expression levels of calpains -1 and -2 are increased with ovarian follicular recruitment by PMSG and calpain-1 is decreased in the PCOS condition, and letrozole and metformin upregulate the expression of calpains-1 and -2 during luteinization in the hGCs possibly via E2 action.

Abstract
Introduction Non-diabetic women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) often have abnormal insulin regulation. Calpain 10 (CALP10) is a biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus, with some of its single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influencing PCOS development. Methods In this case-control study on 90 women each with and without PCOS, we explored the molecular role of five CALP10 SNPs using biochemical parameters and Sanger sequencing analyses. Results Different genetic models, genotypes, and allele frequencies were significantly associated with UCSNP-19 (rs3842570; p=0.01), UCSNP-44 (rs2975760; p=0.009), UCSNP-56 (rs2975762; p<0.0001), and UCSNP-63 (rs5030952; p=0.0003) in women with PCOS. The multiple logistic regression model showed a strong association of CALP10 SNPs with fasting blood glucose (p<0.001). ANOVA showed significant associations with various biochemical parameters such as FSH (p=0.0001) in UCSNP-19 (rs3842570), FI (p=0.002), TG (p=0.01) in UCSNP-56 (rs2975762) and FBG (p=0.001), FI (p=0.004), FSH (p=0.02) & LDLc (p=0.04) in UCSNP-63 (rs5030952) SNPs. Haplotype analysis also revealed significant associations between different combinations of alleles in the studied 5 SNPs in women with PCOS (p<0.05). Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis showed the best gene-gene interactions among the five SNPs in CALP10I (p<0.05). However, dendrogram and graphical depletion models found no strong association in women with PCOS. Conclusion In conclusion, this study confirms rs3842570, rs2975760, rs2975767, and rs5030952 SNPs in CALP10 gene is associated in diagnosed PCOS women in the Saudi Arabia.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Identification of genetic risk factors for PCOS susceptibility. OBJECTIVE To identify genetic risk variants of the genes involved in metabolic or inflammatory pathways. DATA SOURCES Relevant literature was identified and extracted from PubMed, Central Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Science Direct by using a set of keywords related to pre-determined genes up to 06 May 2023. Study selection and synthesis: PRISMA guidelines were followed to design the protocol which is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023422501). Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for different gene variants were calculated under different genetic models (dominant model, recessive model, additive model, and allele model) by using Review Manager software 4.2. MAIN OUTCOMES Metabolic genetic variants FTO rs9939609, IL-6 rs1800795 and CAPN10 rs3842570, rs2975760, and RAB5B rs705702 are associated with PCOS risk. RESULTS Forty-four relevant articles have been identified for genes involved in metabolic (n = 23) or inflammatory pathways (n = 21). There is a significant association (p < 0.05) of IL-6 rs1800795 and FTO rs9939609 with increased risk.CAPN10 rs2975760 Ins allele is suggested as a protective factor among only the non-Asian population. Also, a significant association of CAPN10 rs2975760 and RAB5B rs705702 with increased risk among the Asian population is suggested. However, no significant association could be found between CAPN10 rs3792267, rs5030952, and SUMO1P1 rs2272046, and the risk of PCOS in any of the subpopulations analysed. In silico analysis suggests the deleterious effect of IL-6 rs1800795. CONCLUSION and relevance: The study suggests the role of various genetic variants for genetic predisposition to PCOS among different subpopulations.

Abstract
Insulin resistance plays an important role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Calpain10 (CAPN10) gene was the first identified susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes mellitus and closely related to insulin sensitivity. A lot of research attention has been attracted on the relationship between CAPN10 polymorphisms and PCOS risk, but they didn't reach a consistent conclusion. We therefore performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association of CAPN10 common variants with PCOS susceptibility. A total of 21 studies were eligible for inclusion. Meta-analyses were done for 5 variants that had at least two data sources: UCSNP-19, -43, -44, -56 and -63. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated under five genetic models. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity, PCOS diagnostic criteria, and source of controls were conducted. Moreover, false-positive report probability (FPRP) test and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were performed to assess the significant associations. The results showed a possible negative association between UCSNP-19 and PCOS risk (ins/ins vs. del/del + del/ins: OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.72-0.98). In subgroup analyses, FPRP test indicated that noteworthy associations were observed in mixed ethnicities for UCSNP-43 (A vs. G: OR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.17-2.79; AA + AG vs. GG: OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.20-3.80) and in Asians for UCSNP-44 (CC vs. TT: OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.21-3.51; CC vs. CT + TT: OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.31-3.69), but TSA plots showed that the accumulated sample sizes of these associations were insufficient to draw firm conclusions. In summary, our study suggested that UCSNP-19, UCSNP-43, and UCSNP-44 in CAPN10 gene may be involved in PCOS susceptibility. These findings warrant further studies.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) involves abnormalities in ovarian, reproductive, and metabolic systems. Genetic polymorphisms associated with individual differences and variations might be related to complex disorders with unknown causes, including PCOS. Several leading genetic markers with known cellular functions have been identified among Iranian women presenting with PCOS. In particular, the existing evidence shows a significant relationship between PCOS and the following genetic polymorphisms: rs2275913 (interleukin-17A), rs9927163 (interleukin-32), Pro12Ala (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ), rs17173608 (chemerin), rs2236242 (vaspin), ApaI (vitamin D receptor), and rs7895833 (sirtuin 1). In addition, a higher risk of PCOS is associated with the rs2910164 (microRNA 146a), rs2241766 (adiponectin), -34 T/C (cytochrome 17), and rs1800682 (Fas) polymorphisms. Furthermore, protective effects against PCOS have been reported for the A4223C polymorphism of adenosine deaminase 1. Overall, the available data indicate that Iranian women with PCOS have a higher prevalence of polymorphisms in inflammation- and metabolism-related genes, but not in insulin-related genes. More extensive studies are needed to identify the ethnicity-related genetic associations in PCOS.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive age women. Emerging evidence suggests that Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) might be a causal factor for characteristics associated with PCOS such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Present study investigated association between VDR gene BsmI A/G (rs1544410), ApaI A/C (rs7975232) and TaqI T/C (rs731236) single nucleotide polymorphisms and PCOS risk in South Indian women. Genotyping of VDR gene SNPs was carried out in PCOS patients (n = 95) and controls (n = 130) by PCR-RFLP method and confirmed by sequencing analysis. Haplotype frequencies for multiple loci and the standardized disequilibrium coefficient (D') for pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) were assessed by Haploview software. Results showed significantly increased frequencies of BsmI G/G (p = .0197), ApaI C/C (p = .048), TaqI C/C (p = .044) genotypes and BsmI G (p = .0181), ApaI C (p = .0092), TaqI C (p = .0066) alleles in patients compared to controls. In addition, the frequency of the 'BsmI G, ApaI C, TaqI C' haplotype was also significantly elevated in patients (p = .0087). In conclusion, the VDR gene BsmI A/G ApaI A/C TaqI T/C and haplotype may constitute an inheritable risk factor for PCOS in South Indian women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex and heterogeneous disease involving both reproductive and metabolic problems. It has been suggested a genetic predisposition in the etiology of this syndrome. The identification of calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) as the first candidate gene for type 2 diabetes mellitus, has focused the interest in investigating their possible relation with the polycystic ovary syndrome, because this syndrome is associated with hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, two metabolic abnormalities associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. OBJECTIVE To investigate if there is association between the SNP-63 and the variant indel-19 of the CAPN10 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome in women of reproductive age. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 101 women (55 with polycystic ovary syndrome and 46 without polycystic ovary syndrome). The genetic variant indel-19 was identified by electrophoresis of the amplified fragments by PCR, and the SNP-63 by PCR-RFLP. RESULTS The allele and genotype frequencies of the two variants do not differ significatly between women with polycystic ovary syndrome and control women group. The haplotype 21 (defined by the insertion allele of indel-19 variant and C allele of SNP-63) was found with higher frequency in both study groups, being more frequent in the polycystic ovary syndrome patients group, however, this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.8353). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that SNP-63 and indel-19 variant of the CAPN10 gene do not represent a risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in our patients group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To highlight a possible association of Calpain (CAPN 10) gene UCSNP-43 polymorphism with hormonal and metabolic traits of young women with different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). DESIGN PCOS women were genotyped for the CAPN 10 gene UCSNP-43 polymorphism. A comparison of clinical and biochemical features of women with PCOS stratified on the basis of the CAPN 10 gene UCSNP-43 variants was assessed. METHODS Anthropometric, hormonal and biochemical measurements were carried out in 668 PCOS women and 200 healthy controls. Subjects were also genotyped for the CAPN 10 gene UCSNP-43 polymorphism. The genotype frequency distributions between groups and controls were compared using the chi-square test. The association of the polymorphism with the clinical and biochemical features of the study cohort was estimated as well. RESULTS No association of the frequency of CAPN 10 gene UCSNP-43 polymorphism with PCOS was detected. No association of the polymorphism with the anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal features was detected both in PCOS and control women. The polymorphism was associated with serum Δ4 androstenedione (p = 0.018), as well as with 17-OH progesterone (17-hydroxyprogesterone) among women with PCOS phenotype A (p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS CAPN 10 gene polymorphism UCSNP-43 is deprived of a metabolic contribution to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, due to its association with androgen excess in phenotype A, CAPN 10 gene polymorphism UCSNP-43 could be used as a genetic marker for CVD in young PCOS women.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that calpain-10 (CAPN10) gene polymorphisms play a role in the susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible association between three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CAPN10 gene: UCSNP-43 (rs3792267), UCSNP-19 (rs3842570), and UCSNP-63 (rs5030952) and PCOS in Tunisian cases and control women. Study subjects included 127 women with PCOS (mean age 29.8 ± 4.7 year) and 150 healthy women (mean age 33.5 ± 5.6 year). CAPN10 genotyping was carried-out by direct PCR and PCR-RFLP. Linkage disequilibrium pattern in the genomic region explored was determined by HAPLOVIEW 4.2 while reconstruction of haplotypes was done using PHASE 2.1. The phylogenetic distribution of haplotypes in the population was determined by ARLEQUIN 2.000. Six haplotypes were observed. None of SNPs associated with PCOS or its components while the haplotype H4 associated with the phenotype PCOS-obese (P < 0.025). Moreover the pair of haplotypes H1/H4 strongly associated with high blood-pressure (OR = 14.4, P < 0.012). This work confirms the association of CAPN10 gene with metabolic components in PCOS and highlights the role of haplotypes as strong and efficient genetic markers.

Abstract
Calpain activity has been implicated in several cellular processes such as cell signaling, apoptosis, exocytosis, mitochondrial metabolism and cytoskeletal remodeling. Evidence has indicated that the impairment of calpain expression and the activity of different calpain family members are involved in diverse pathologies. Calpain-10 has been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes, and polymorphisms in the CAPN10 gene have been associated with an increased risk of developing this disease. The present work focused on the molecular biology of calpain-10, supporting its key participation in glucose metabolism. Current knowledge regarding the role of calpain-10 in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetes-related diseases is additionally reviewed.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly complex endocrine disorder, characterized by hyperandrogenemia, menstrual irregularities and polycystic ovaries. A strong genetic component to the etiology of PCOS is evident. However, due to the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of PCOS and the lack of insufficiently large cohorts, studies to identify specific contributing genes to date have yielded only few conclusive results. In this review we discuss the current status of the genetic analysis of PCOS including the results of numerous association studies with candidate genes involved in TGF-β and insulin signaling, type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity susceptibility. Furthermore, we address current challenges in genetic studies of PCOS, and the promise of new approaches, including genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome must be recognized as a serious issue due to its implication on long term health regardless of an individual's age. PCOS and insulin resistance are interlinked, as approximately 40 % of women with PCOS are insulin resistant. However, the detailed molecular basis for insulin resistance that is coupled with PCOS remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To review the published evidence that polymorphisms in genes that are involved in insulin secretion and action are associated with an increased risk of PCOS. METHODS We reviewed articles published through November 2012 which concerned polymorphisms of genes related to insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis as well as their associations with PCOS. The articles were identified via Medline searches. CONCLUSIONS No consistent evidence emerged of a strong association between the risk of PCOS and any known gene that is related to insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis. Moreover, recent genome-wide association studies are inconsistent in identifying the associations between PCOS and insulin metabolism genes. Many of the studies reviewed were limited by heterogeneity in the PCOS diagnosis and by not have having a sufficient number of study participants. Further studies are warranted to determine predisposing risk factors which could modify environmental factors and thus reduce the risk of PCOS. Large genome-wide association studies devoted solely to PCOS will be necessary to identify new candidate genes and proteins that are involved in PCOS risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between CAPN 10 gene polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) susceptibility. DESIGN Meta-analysis of published case-control studies of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CAPN 10 and PCOS susceptibility. PATIENTS Women with PCOS. MEASUREMENTS Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for heterozygous, homozygous, dominant model, recessive model and allele. RESULTS A total of 11 studies were involved in the meta-analysis. UCSNP-63 was significantly associated with PCOS, with homozygous carriers (TT vs CC: OR = 0·64; 95% CI: 0·45-0·90) and recessive model (TT vs CC and CT: OR = 0·64; 95% CI: 0·45-0·90) being protective factors. In addition, UCSNP-19 was significantly associated with PCOS, with recessive model (ins/ins vs del/del and del/ins: OR = 0·72, 95% CI: 0·59-0·88) and insert allele (ins vs del: OR = 0·85, 95% CI: 0·76-0·96) being protective factors, while heterozygous carriers (del/ins vs del/del: OR = 1·56, 95% CI: 1·24-1·94) and deletion allele (del vs ins: OR = 1·18, 95% CI: 1·04-1·32) being risk factors. However, no significant associations were found between UCSNP-44, -43 and PCOS. Moreover, the results of the Rotterdam criteria subgroup analysis were similar with that of overall analysis. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report on the association between CAPN 10 UCSNP-63 and PCOS in genotype, with homozygous carriers and recessive model being protective factors. Additionally, insert allele and recessive model of UCSNP-19 are protective factors, while deletion allele and heterozygous genotype are risk factors for PCOS development.

Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is known to be characterized by metabolic disorder in which hyperinsulinemia and peripheral insulin resistance are central features. Given the physiological overlap between PCOS and type-2 diabetes (T2DM), and calpain 10 gene (CAPN10) being a strong candidate for T2DM, a number of studies have analyzed CAPN10 SNPs among PCOS women yielding contradictory results. Our study is first of its kind to investigate the association pattern of CAPN10 polymorphisms (UCSNP-44, 43, 56, 19 and 63) with PCOS among Indian women. 250 PCOS cases and 299 controls from Southern India were recruited for this study. Allele and genotype frequencies of the SNPs were determined and compared between the cases and controls. Results show significant association of UCSNP-44 genotype CC with PCOS (p = 0.007) with highly significant odds ratio when compared to TC (OR = 2.51, p = 0.003, 95% CI = 1.37–4.61) as well as TT (OR = 1.94, p = 0.016, 95% CI = 1.13–3.34). While the haplotype carrying the SNP-44 and SNP-19 variants (21121) exhibited a 2 fold increase in the risk for PCOS (OR = 2.37, p = 0.03), the haplotype containing SNP-56 and SNP-19 variants (11221) seems to have a protective role against PCOS (OR = 0.20, p = 0.004). Our results support the earlier evidence for a possible role of UCSNP-44 of the CAPN10 gene in the manifestation of PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), whose genetic basis is not completely well understood, is the most common endocrine disorder in women and it typically develops during adolescence. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FSHR, CYP17, CYP1A1, CAPN10, INSR, SERPINE1 genes and PCOS in adolescent girls. METHODS DNA samples from forty-four adolescent girls with PCOS and 50 healthy controls were analyzed by PCR-RFLP and direct DNA sequencing to determine the genotypic frequency of 17 different polymorphic loci on the FSHR (A307T, N680S), CYP17 (-34 T/C), CYP1A1 (T6235C), CAPN10 (44, 43, 19, 63), INSR (exon 17 C/T), SERPINE1 (4G/5G) genes. Genotyping of exon 12 (six polymorphisms) and intron 12 (one polymorphism) of INSR gene by direct DNA sequencing was performed for the first time in this study. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in the genotype and allele distributions of above mentioned polymorphisms between cases and control groups. CONCLUSION Our data does not support an association between SNPs of FSHR, CYP17, CYP1A1, CAPN10, INSR, SERPINE1 genes and susceptibility to PCOS or related traits in Turkish adolescent girls.

Abstract
AIM This study was designed in order to examine the relationship between Calpain 10 [single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 19,43,44,63] gene polymorphisms and clinical and hormonal characteristics in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and seven patients with PCOS and 114 healthy subjects were included in this study. Serum levels of sex steroids were measured for each individual. Insulin resistance (IR) was evaluated by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI) methods. Insulin and glucose responses to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were analyzed by calculating the areas under the curve for insulin (AUCI) and glucose by the trapezoidal methods.We used PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism technique to examine Calpain 10 SNP 19, 43, 44, and 63 polymorphisms. RESULTS Allele distribution of Calpain 10 SNP 44 gene polymorphism was observed as significantly different between the groups. Calpain 10 SNP 44 TC genotype was found to be increased in PCOS subjects (69.15%) compared to the control subjects (50%). However, when compared to control subjects, patients with PCOS had similar Calpain 10 SNP 19, Calpain 10 SNP 43, and SNP 63 gene polymorphisms. When compared with normal Calpain 10 gene SNP 44 allele in PCOS subjects, subjects with PCOS having Calpain 10 gene SNP 44 allele polymorphism had higher free testosterone, androstenedione, DHEA-S, and fasting insulin levels. Also, PCOS women with Calpain 10 gene SNP 44 allele polymorphism had high Ferriman-Gallwey (F-G) score, acne, prevalence of menstrual disturbances, waist-hip ratio, HOMA-IR, AUCI levels and low QUICKI levels. CONCLUSION The findings show that Calpain 10 gene SNP 44 allele polymorphism may have a role in PCOS pathogenesis. However, larger-scale studies are needed in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human homologs (FEM1A, FEM1B, FEM1C) of nematode sex determination genes are candidate genes for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We previously identified a FEM1A mutation (H500Y) in a woman with PCOS; FEM1B has been implicated in insulin secretion. METHODS Women with and without PCOS (287 cases, 187 controls) were genotyped for H500Y and six FEM1A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), five FEM1B SNPs and five FEM1C SNPs. SNPs and haplotypes were determined and tested for association with PCOS and component phenotypes. RESULTS No subject carried the FEM1A H500Y mutation. FEM1A SNPs rs8111933 (P = 0.001) and rs12460989 (P = 0.046) were associated with an increased likelihood of PCOS whereas FEM1A SNP rs1044386 was associated with a reduced probability of PCOS (P = 0.013). FEM1B SNP rs10152450 and a linked SNP were associated with a reduced likelihood of PCOS (P = 0.005), and lower homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) for beta-cell function (HOMA-%B, P = 0.011) and lower HOMA for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, P = 0.018). FEM1B SNP rs12909277 was associated with lower HOMA-%B (P = 0.008) and lower HOMA-IR (P = 0.037). Haplotype associations were consistent with SNP results, and also revealed association of FEM1B haplotype TGAGG with increased HOMA-%B (P = 0.007) and HOMA-IR (P = 0.024). FEM1C variants were not associated with PCOS. CONCLUSIONS This study presents evidence suggesting a role for FEM1A and FEM1B in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Only FEM1B variants were associated with insulin-related traits in PCOS women, consistent with prior evidence linking this gene to insulin secretion. Replication of these associations and mechanistic studies will be necessary to establish the role of these genes in PCOS.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. Familial aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors is a frequent finding, but genetic factors affecting its presentation are still poorly understood. The calpain 10 gene (CAPN10) has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a complex metabolic disorder with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, the CAPN10 gene has been associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in T2DM and in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this work, we have analysed whether the polymorphisms UCSNP44, -43, -19 and -63 are related to several cardiovascular risk factors in the context of MS. Molecular analysis of CAPN10 gene was performed in 899 individuals randomly chosen from a cross-sectional population-based epidemiological survey. We have found that CAPN10 gene in our population is mainly associated with two indicators of the presence of insulin resistance: glucose levels two hours after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and HOMA values, although cholesterol levels and blood pressure values are also influenced by CAPN10 variants. In addition, the 1221/1121 haplogenotype is under-represented in individuals that fulfil the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) diagnostic criteria for MS. Our results suggest that CAPN10 gene is associated with insulin resistance phenotypes in the Spanish population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene that have significant associations with the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in a Korean population. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING University-based hospital. PATIENT(S) One hundred thirty-four patients with PCOS and 100 healthy women as controls. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Frequencies of genotypes for SNPs in VEGF gene, which were specifically expressed in a Korean population. RESULT(S) After genotypic analysis, we found that among 10 SNPs, one novel SNP at site +9812 and one known SNP at site +13553 have P values lower than .05 (+9812: odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.61 [0.39-0.95]; +13553: odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.59 [0.37-0.93]) and one haplotype (ht4) also has a P value in the significant range (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.34 [0.16-0.74]). CONCLUSION(S) We concluded that one novel SNP at +9812 site, one known SNP at +13553 site, and one selected haplotype in the VEGF gene have a high possibility of significant associations with the pathogenesis of PCOS in a Korean population.
