Analysis of multiple data sets reveals no association between the insulin gene variable number tandem repeat element and polycystic ovary syndrome or related traits.
CONTEXT: Variation at the insulin gene VNTR (variable number tandem repeat) minisatellite has been reported to be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but findings have been inconsistent and all studies have featured small sample sizes. OBJECTIVE: To gain a robust understanding of the...
