Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder
characterized by hormonal imbalances. The syndrome is suspected as autoimmune
disease. The process of secretion mediated by Fucosyltransferase2 is an essential
step in generating gonadotropins hormones, like Follicle stimulating hormone
(FSH) that is central to the process of cystic change in the ovary. In this study, one
hundred hormonally and clinically characterized polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS) patients ranging in age from 18-44 years and fifty appearently healthy
controls were enrolled. The patients and controls were saliva typed for Lewis
secretors and non-secretors. The results emerged from this study reveal the
followings: Demographic data indicated an incidence age of 26.5±4.53 in patients
versus28.54±6.07 in controls (p=0.022). FSH/LH ratio was 0.91±0.61 in patients
and was 2.18±2.35 in controls. Overall-patients and controls secretors gave about
identical frequency approaching 87and 90% in patients and controls respectively. The level of H-substance in saliva (FUT2 enzyme activity) didn´t differ in patients
and controls (43.6±70.5) in patients versus 43.95±62.64 in controls (p= 0.98). Sorting out secretors to Leb and Lea-b- secretors gave a decreased 28.65 mean titer
in patients versus 40.12 titer in controls. The conclusion drawn from the findings
presented in this communication is that there is no role of Fucosyltransferase2
gene product that is associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.
