Association of Genetic Polymorphism of Insulin Receptor Substrate 1 (IRS-1) with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Pathogenicity in Iraqi Women

2021 Medico-Legal Update  
Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) is an intracellular signaling adapter protein that integrates and coordinates multiple biologically key extracellular signals within the cell, is also a key central receptor in insulin signaling, and plays a focal role in maintaining essential cellular capabilities, e.g., survival, development and digestion system. IRS1 is essentially found in the cytoplasm But localization in nucleus may occur in some cell types and under certain stimuli. Materials and

This survey demonstrated that there was no significant association between different alleles for this SNP with the pathogenesis of PCOS Conclusion: Genetic polymorphism with IRS-1may be associated with metabolic disturbance but not Polycystic Ovary syndrome in Iraqiwomen.
