Polycystic ovary syndrome Set of symptoms caused by elevated androgens in females

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a set of symptoms due to elevated androgens in females. Signs and symptoms of PCOS include irregular or no menstrual periods, heavy periods, excess body and facial hair, acne, pelvic pain, difficulty getting pregnant, and patches of thick, darker, velvety skin. Associated conditions include type 2 diabetes, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, mood disorders, and endometrial cancer. It is sometimes referred to as polycystic ovary disease (PCOD) when there is ultrasonographic evidence of the presence of ovarian cysts.

Anovulation is when the ovaries do not release an oocyte during a menstrual cycle. Therefore, ovulation does not take place. However, a woman who does not ovulate at each menstrual cycle is not necessarily going through menopause. Chronic anovulation is a common cause of infertility.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), also known as Müllerian-inhibiting hormone (MIH), is a glycoprotein hormone structurally related to inhibin and activin from the transforming growth factor beta superfamily, whose key roles are in growth differentiation and folliculogenesis. In humans, the gene for AMH is AMH, on chromosome 19p13.3, while the gene AMHR2 codes for its receptor on chromosome 12.

Growth/differentiation factor 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF9 gene.

Follistatin also known as activin-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FST gene. Follistatin is an autocrine glycoprotein that is expressed in nearly all tissues of higher animals.

Anti-Müllerian hormone receptor is a receptor for anti-Müllerian hormone. Anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AMHR2 gene.

Free Androgen Index or FAI is a ratio used to determine abnormal androgen status in humans. The ratio is the total testosterone level divided by the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) level, and then multiplying by a constant, usually 100. The concentrations of testosterone and SHBG are normally measured in nanomols per liter. FAI has no unit.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GNRHR gene.

Calpain-10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN10 gene.

Glucosidase 2 subunit beta is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRKCSH gene.

Deleted in azoospermia protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DAZ2 gene.

Seipin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BSCL2 gene.

Calpain-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN5 gene.

Luteinizing hormone subunit beta also known as lutropin subunit beta or LHβ is a polypeptide that in association with an alpha subunit common to all gonadotropin hormones forms the reproductive signaling molecule luteinizing hormone. In humans it is encoded by the LHB gene.

Bardet–Biedl syndrome 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS9 gene.

NLRP5, short for NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 5, is an intracellular protein that plays a role in early embryogenesis. NLRP5 is also known as NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 5 (NALP5), Mater protein homolog (MATER), PYPAF8, PAN11, and CLR19.8, and is one of 14 pyrin domain containing members of the NOD-like receptor family of cytoplasmic receptors known to mammals.

Infertility in polycystic ovary disease (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance in women that is thought to be one of the leading causes of female infertility. Polycystic ovary syndrome causes more than 75% of cases of anovulatory infertility.

Makorin ring finger protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MKRN3 gene.

Dynein axonemal heavy chain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DNAH1 gene.

Ethinylestradiol/cyproterone acetate (EE/CPA), also known as co-cyprindiol and sold under the brand names Diane and Diane-35 among others, is a combination of ethinylestradiol (EE), an estrogen, and cyproterone acetate (CPA), a progestin and antiandrogen, which is used as a birth control pill to prevent pregnancy in women. It is also used to treat androgen-dependent conditions in women such as acne, seborrhea, excessive facial/body hair growth, scalp hair loss, and high androgen levels due to ovaries with cysts. The medication is taken by mouth once daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day free interval.
