Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the reproductive and metabolic abnormality of females characterized by delayed folliculogenesis, hyperandrogenism, and multiple ovarian cysts, associated with an increased risk of infertility, abortion and endometrial cancer. Objectives: Therefore, the effects of estrogen receptors on PCOS incidence were investigated through quantification of ER-α and ER-β mRNAs expressions via RT-PCR. Study Design: This cross-sectional study was executed at Mayo Hospital Lahore, from January-2021 to September-2022, including 320 participants. Methods: 180 females enrolled in this study were diagnosed with PCOS. ER-α and ER-β were isolated and amplified separately on RT-PCR for their quantification. Results: It was found that expression of tER-α mRNA did not differ between size-matched normal and PCOS follicles, and the concentration of both types of nitrogenous bases, GC and TC, was equivalent. Yet, ER-β mRNA expression was substantially higher in TC (p<0.05) than in GC. Conclusion: It was concluded that PCOS is the major cause of infertility among Pakistani women. It is mostly curable if identified accurately. Established on ER and haplotype data, genetic coding for ER-α and ER-β mRNA are good markers for determination of the association of estrogen receptors with PCOS.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
