May 2011 in “Molecular Medicine Reports” The study investigated the association between the -866G/A polymorphism in the promoter of the uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition linked to obesity and insulin resistance. The research involved 277 PCOS patients and 152 healthy controls, using genotyping methods to analyze the UCP2 polymorphism. The results indicated no significant association between the -866G/A polymorphism and PCOS, with a P-value of 0.7168, suggesting that this genetic variation did not contribute to the pathogenesis of PCOS.
