Exploratory study identifies serum microrna signatures linked to reproductive and metabolic issues in PCOS women, suggesting potential biomarkers.

The study aims to explore the differential expression of circulating microRNAs in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Patients with PCOS and age-matched controls were included; serum small RNAs were isolated.
High-throughput miRNA sequencing was performed to assess miRNA profiles.
Bioinformatics analyses were conducted, including differential expression and hub gene network analysis.
967 miRNAs were identified; 7 showed significant differential expression (log2FC > 1, p < 0.05).
Six miRNAs were upregulated and one was downregulated in individuals with PCOS.
Key targets identified include TP53, FOXO1, HIF1A, and HDAC1, relevant to insulin signaling and cell cycle.

Vetriselvan et al. (2026) studied this question.
