Leptin , the product of the ob gene, is a small peptide molecule synthesized by white adipocyte with an imporatnt role in the regulation of body fat and food intake.The presence of leptin and its receptor also detected in the placental tissue during pregnancy. The amount of fat stored is known to influence obesity and fertility, indicating a link between leptin and PCOS. Recent reports suggest the relevance of gene polymorphism in predicating PCOS. The present study was aimed at investigating the genetic relation between the LEPR and PCOS using polymerase chain reaction followed by...
