Association study of androgen signaling pathway genes in polycystic ovary syndrome.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate genes involved in androgen receptor (AR) signaling as candidate genes for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
designTwo groups of women with PCOS and control women (discovery and replication cohorts), were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight genes for AR chaperones and co-chaperones: HSPA1A, HSPA8, ST13, STIP1, PTGES3, FKBP4, BAG1, and STUB1. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were tested for association with PCOS status and with androgenic and metabolic parameters.
settingTertiary referral center. PATIENT(S): Discovery cohort: 354 women with PCOS and 161 control women. Replication cohort: 397 women with PCOS and 306 control women. INTERVENTION(S): Phenotypic and genotypic assessment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Single-nucleotide polymorphism genotypes, association with PCOS status, and androgenic and metabolic parameters. RESULT(S): In the discovery cohort, FKBP4 SNPs rs2968909 and rs4409904 were associated with lower odds of PCOS. This finding was not confirmed in the replication cohort analysis; however, when combining the two cohorts, rs4409904 was associated with lower odds of PCOS. In subjects with PCOS in the replication cohort as well as in the combined cohort, rs2968909 was associated with lower body mass index. CONCLUSION(S): Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in FKBP4, which codes for the AR co-chaperone FKBP52, may be associated with PCOS and body mass index in patients with PCOS. The remaining genes studied do not seem to be major contributors to the development of PCOS. These findings warrant confirmation in future studies, and genes encoding other androgen pathway components remain to be studied.
