Produktbeschreibung

It has become increasingly clear over the past several years that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex genetic disease resulting from the interaction of susceptibility genes and environmental factors.

This book includes the latest diagnostic criteria for PCOS and comprises the most up-to-date information about the genetic features and pathogenesis of PCOS. It critically reviews the methodological approaches and the evidence for various PCOS susceptibility genes. The book also discusses additional familial phenotypes of PCOS and their potential genetic basis. This expert opinion remains critical to guiding practice in PCOS because sufficient data for evidence-based guidelines remains scarce.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This monograph is the product of a 2005 meeting of experts in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that was designed to address disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. ... is relevant for a broad audience, but is most relevant for those who are specifically involved in the day-to-day care of women with PCOS as well as those whose research focus is connected to the disorder. ... a useful addition to the library of any physician or investigator with an interest in PCOS." (David A Ehrmann, Doody's Review Service, June, 2008)
