摘要

Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH) influences 11尾-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity, a key enzyme in the peripheral metabolism of cortisol that modulates insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue. To study the associations of R453Q and D151A polymorphisms in the H6PDH gene (H6PD) with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their influence on clinical and metabolic variables, we genotyped 237 patients with PCOS and 135 control women for the R453Q (rs6688832) and D151A (rs34603401) variants in H6PD. The R453Q genotypes were distributed differently in patients and controls (蠂² = 9.55, P = 0.002). Genotypes of D151A were distributed evenly in women with PCOS and controls, but showed a different distribution in non-obese and obese women (蠂² = 3.95, P = 0.047), especially within the PCOS subgroup (蠂² = 4.65, P = 0.031). A backward stepwise likelihood ratio logistic regression model (Nagelkerke's R² = 0.490; 蠂² = 164; P < 0.0001) retained free testosterone (OR = 1.13; 95%CI: 1.10-1.17) and H6PD Q453 alleles (OR = 0.46; 95%CI: 0.27-0.79) as statistically significant predictors for PCOS, whereas homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and the H6PD D151A variant were excluded by the model. Both H6PD variants were associated with several phenotypic variables, including fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and androstenedione levels. In summary, the R453Q and D151A variants of the H6PD gene are associated with PCOS and obesity, respectively, and may contribute to the PCOS phenotype by influencing obesity, insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism.
