Somascan proteomic analysis of circulating KRas, Ras GTPase-activating protein-1 (RASA1), and 45 growth factor-related proteins that signal through Ras was undertaken in a non-obese population of women with (n=44) and without (n=78) PCOS, groups matched for age and body mass index (BMI), without insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) or systemic inflammation (normal CRP; C-reactive protein). The gene discussed is KRAS; the disease is polycystic ovary syndrome.
