RESUMO
The aim of this study is to assess the association of nine SNPs on ADIPOQ on the PCOS risk among Saudi Arabian Women. A case-control study, including 162 cases and 162 controls in Saudi Arabia, was enrolled. Genotyping was carried out by the allelic discrimination method. Estimated haplotype frequencies were assessed using the maximum likelihood method. Results showed that ADIPOQ SNPs were not associated with PCOS for allelic and genotypic frequencies (p > .05). In haplotype estimation analysis, a significant positive association was detected between 21211 haplotype (rs2241766/rs1501299/rs2241767/rs3774261/rs17366743) in additive model with increased risk of PCOS (p = .009, OR = 2.16 [1.22-3.82] CI 95%). None of the nine SNPs illustrated significant association with the quantitative traits after multiple test corrections. These results support a significant association of 21211 haplotype (rs2241766/rs1501299/rs2241767/rs3774261/rs17366743) of ADIPOQ gene in Saudi women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in females, and is associated with altered metabolic processes in particular insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. PCOS shares with type-2 diabetes (T2D) a number of features, including beta cell dysfunction, impaired glucose tolerance and dyslipidaemia. Recently, genomewide association studies (GWAS) have reported a number of genes with reproducible associations and susceptibilities to T2D. To address this, we examined the association between the T2D GWAS candidate genes (CDKAL1, CDKN2B, COL8A1, HHEX, IGF2BP2, KCNJ1, KCNQ1 and SLC30A8) and PCOS in Saudi women. A case-control study, includes 162 cases and 162 controls was enrolled. Genotyping was carried out by the allelicdiscrimination method. Our results showed that the variants including rs792837 of COL8A1, rs61873498 of KCNQ1 and rs13266634 of SLC30A8 genes to be significantly more frequent in PCOS patients than in controls. Our results suggest that COL8A1, KCNQ1 and SLC30A8, which are previously identified through GWAS as T2D-associated genes, are associated with PCOS.
