It has been found that long noncoding RNA HOTAIR, microRNA‐130a (miR‐130a) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) expression are associated with ovarian cancer, thus, we hypothesised that the HOTAIR/miR‐130a/IGF1 axis might associate with endocrine disorders and biological behaviours of ovarian granulosa cells in rat models of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This evidence concerns the gene HOTAIR and polycystic ovary syndrome.
