Why the study?
Little was known regarding whether there was an association between lncRNA H19 and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Is long non-coding RNA H19 expression associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and its endocrine variables in Chinese women?

Elevated H19 may support PCOS biomarker research; case-control data leaves clinical utility and causality open.
Is long non-coding RNA H19 expression associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and its endocrine variables in Chinese women?
Elevated lncRNA H19 expression is associated with PCOS and correlates with fasting plasma glucose, suggesting it may serve as a biomarker for early endocrine and metabolic disorders in susceptible individuals.
Qin et al. (2019) studied this question.
