Scientists at the University of Birmingham have uncovered a new method to identify and test women with polycystic ovary syndrome who are at high risk of going onto develop diabetes.
The findings will pave the way for a more personalised approach to the treatment and management of PCOS, with women who have the risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes being selectively tested for the disease and offered early therapeutic interventions to reduce long-term health risks.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of female factor infertility in the Western world, and affects between five and ten per cent of women of reproductive age. It is associated with an increased future risk of diabetes and heart disease.
