Polycystic ovary syndrome: current status and future perspective.
- Medicine, BiologyFrontiers in bioscience
- 2014
Limited research has been done that encompasses the entirety of PCOS spectrum, and the current status and possible future perspective will be discussed.
Evolutionary origins of polycystic ovary syndrome: An environmental mismatch disorder
- BiologyEvolution, medicine, and public health
- 2019
The most severe form of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is likely a result of interactions between genetic predispositions for PCOS and modern obesogenic environments, particularly in populations that are disproportionately affected by obesity and metabolic disorders.

This chapter reviews different aspects of the disease, epidemiology, effect on menstrual cycle, hormonal implications, clinical manifestations, ultrasound findings, treatment options, and the effect on fertility.
Polycystic ovary syndrome as a plausible evolutionary outcome of metabolic adaptation
- Biology, MedicineReproductive Biology and Endocrinology
- 2022
This review integrates fundamental endocrine-metabolic changes in healthy, normal-weight PCOS women with similar PCOS-like traits present in animal models in which tissue differentiation is completed during fetal life as in humans to support the evolutionary concept that PCOS has common ancestral and developmental origins.

Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome are diametric disorders
- BiologyEvolutionary applications
- 2021
The diametric disorder hypothesis provides novel, unifying, proximate, and evolutionary explanations for endometriosis risk, synthesizes diverse lines of research concerning the two most common female reproductive disorders, and generates future avenues of research for improving the quality of life and health of women.

Developmental origin of polycystic ovary syndrome - a hypothesis.
- Biology, MedicineThe Journal of endocrinology
- 2002
It is proposed that the clinical and biochemical features of PCOS can arise as a consequence of genetically determined hypersecretion of androgens by the ovary during, or very likely long before, puberty, and a unifying, 'linear' model is suggested to explain the aetiology of the heterogeneous phenotype.
Genetics of Ovarian Disorders: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
- Medicine, BiologyReviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders
- 2004
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the commonest endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, occurring in upwards of 5% of women, and there is strong evidence that genetic factors play a major part in the aetiology of PCOS.
Managing anovulatory infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome
- MedicineBMJ : British Medical Journal
- 2007
This review will concentrate on the management of infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome, and the general practitioner should be able to start investigations and formulate a diagnosis before referral to a specialist in reproductive medicine.

Although past genetic studies of PCOS have yielded only modest results, resources and techniques have been assembled to remedy the major deficits of these early studies, promising that the next few years will be a very exciting and rewarding era for the genetic analysis ofPCOS.
Commentary: Polycystic ovary syndrome: a transgenerational evolutionary adaptation
- Biology, Medicine

Three hypotheses for evolutionary advantage are discussed and the question of why a gene that predisposes to anovulation, diabetes and heart disease might have perpetuated so frequently is addressed.
An evolutionary approach to explain the high frequency of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

An evolutionary explanation for the high prevalence rate of PCOS, the most common endocrine disorder causing female infertility, is presented and the symptomatology ofPCOS is described and the high prevalences are explained by means of Darwinian medicine, kin selection and allomothering.

This debate wishes to re-explore the current thinking on PCOS, with a particular emphasis on the British and European perspective and invite others to contribute to the discussion which could form the basis for an international consensus.

It can be assumed that similar genes or gene networks may be involved in PCOS across populations, despite phenotypic differences in its expression among different populations.
