We performed a cross-sectional study with 88 southern Brazilian hirsute patients with PCOS or idiopathic hirsutism (IH) to assess the influence of CAPN10 genetic variants on clinical and biochemical features of metabolic syndrome.
Molecular genetic analysis of CAPN10 gene indicates that different alleles may play a role in PCOS susceptibility and could be associated with idiopathic hirsutism.
