FADS1-FADS2 gene cluster confers risk to polycystic ovary syndrome.


ABSTRACT: Dyslipidemia is common in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study was aimed to investigate whether fatty acid desaturase genes (FADS), a dyslipidemia-related gene cluster, are associated with PCOS. We scanned variations of FADS genes using our previous data of genome-wide association study (GWAS) for PCOS and selected rs174570 for further study. The case-control study was conducted in an independent cohort of 1918 PCOS cases and 1889 age-matched controls and family-based study was conducted in a set of 243 core family trios with PCOS probands. Minor allele frequency (allele T) of rs174570 was significantly lower in PCOS cases than that in age-matched controls (P?=?2.17E-03, OR?=?0.85), even after adjustment of BMI and age. PCOS subjects carrying CC genotype had higher testosterone level and similar lipid/glucose level compared with those carrying TT or TC genotype. In trios, transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) analysis revealed risk allele C of rs174570 was significantly over-transmitted (P?=?2.00E-04). Decreased expression of FADS2 was detected in PCOS cases and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis revealed the risk allele C dosage was correlated with the decline of FADS2 expression (P?=?0.002). Our results demonstrate that FADS1-FADS2 are susceptibility genes for PCOS.
