Abstract
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is one of the most frequent disorder and one of the main leading cause of infertility among women of reproductive period. There are three main symptoms linked with PCOS as stated by Rotterdam Criteria, such as Irregular menstruations, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries. There are other factors as well that are linked with PCOS such as infertility, insulin resistance, obesity, infertility, diabetes mellitus type 2, endometrial cancer, cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, hirsutism and acne. The purpose of this research was to analyze and study the different factors associate with PCOS by comparing the data of healthy women and women with PCOS. By analyzing and comparing different factors, our study concludes that there are factors that are very different between women with PCOS and healthy women, such as hirsutism, acne, irregular menstruations and obesity. In our study, one of the factors that we did not found very significant was the prevalence of Diabetes mellitus type 2 (insulin resistance). Moreover, DNA extraction was done from collected blood samples of healthy and diseased women and our further aim was to study the variance elements between healthy and diseased women more deeply on a DNA sequencing level.
