Association of genetic variations in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene with polycystic ovary syndrome in South Indian women: a case control study

The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between gene phosphate and tensin homolog (PTEN) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in South Indian women. PTEN is one of the most important tumor suppressor genes that regulate cell proliferation, migration, and death. It is also involved in the maintenance of genome stability. PCOS is one of the most common endocrine...
