Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequently encountered endocrine malfunctions. The etiology of PCOS is complex and unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of three common SNPs (rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872) of IL-10 in the development of PCOS in a Chinese population. We recruited 360 patients with PCOS and 360 healthy controls in this study. SNP genotyping of IL-10 rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872 was implemented in a 384-well plate format on the Sequenom MassARRAY® System (Sequenom, San Diego, USA). Individuals carrying the GG genotype of rs1800872 were associated with an increased risk of PCOS when compared with the AA genotype (OR = 3.04, 95% CI = 1.62-5.69). No linkage disequilibrium was observed among IL-10 rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872. The C-T-A (OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.05-2.35) haplotype indicated an increased risk of PCOS, while the A-C-G (OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.53-0.98) showed a reduced risk of PCOS. In summary, this study firstly estimates the association between IL-10 polymorphisms and haplotype and PCOS risk in the Chinese population.
