Abstract

In a prospective case-control study we investigated the association of a common polymorphism of the interleukin 1 receptor antagonist gene (IL-1 RA) with the occurrence and the clinical characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Allele frequencies did not vary statistically significantly among women with PCOS and healthy controls or within the PCOS group with respect to their clinical characteristics.
