Abstract

Opening paragraph:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) pathophysiology is modified by a multitude of internal and external factors that go far beyond the traditional stimulators and inhibitors of endocrine response and function. This Research Topic call was to specifically include state-of-the art methodologies and review articles, with the result that 21 manuscripts were published that could be broadly divided into mendelian randomisation studies (RMS), articles regarding lifestyle and PCOS pathophysiology, and fertility including in vitro fertilization studies, the overview of which is shown in Figure 1.
