Identification of the similarly expressed genes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and transsexuals.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common female infertility, which may be caused by excessive androgen, but its mechanism remains unknown. Transsexuals are women who take androgen drugs for a long time, and gradually have male signs. Their ovaries may have received high concentrations of androgen, which leads to the failure of ovarian reproductive function. Therefore, we searched the relevant data of PCOS and transsexuals in gene expression omnibus database, used limma package to identify the most similarly genes, and then analyzed the possible mechanism of PCOS through gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Then, the protein-protein interaction network was constructed by searching the String database, and the top 5 hub
