Meta-analysis of Chinese, US, and Dutch data demonstrated that SNPs in the FSHR region are significantly related to PCOS (rs2268361, Pmeta = 3.8E-5 and rs2349415, Pmeta = 3.6E-4), which indicates that FSHR is likely a common susceptibility gene for PCOS, regardless of ethnicity29. This evidence concerns the gene FSHR and polycystic ovary syndrome.
