“Almost 20 years ago we did studies where we looked at the brothers and the fathers [of women with PCOS] to see if they had any of the features of PCOS as well. We found that the men had increased risk for being overweight, for having metabolic syndrome—and the younger men also had higher levels of a male hormone made by the adrenal glands.”
What Andrea Dunaif, MD has said
“We finally have the tools to classify PCOS using data rather than opinion. This has already happened in oncology 20 years ago, when gene expression profiling began to be used to classify cancers. This approach has been transformative for diagnosis and treatment. We're just starting to do that with other diseases.”
