An Analysis of CAPN-10 Variants Associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Description
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy in 6-13% of females. Small fluid filled sacs develop along the outer edge of the ovarian lining, later turning into cysts. These contain immature eggs, called follicles, which regularly fail to release. The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Although, along with early diagnosis, treatment, and weight loss, these routine factors may lower the risk of long-term complications such as type-2-diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (Mayo Clinic). This study’s purpose is to identify and access the pathogenicity of CAPN-10 variants associated with PCOS.
