Moreover, recent studies have indicated that knock-down of the DENND1A.V2 gene in PCOS theca cells diminished androgen secretion due to decreased CYP17A1 and CYP11A1 genes transcription, restoring the normal phenotype of theca cells, which confirmed the role of DENND1A in hyperandrogenism associated with PCOS [152]. The gene discussed is CYP17A1; the disease is polycystic ovary syndrome.
