Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common heterogeneous endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. The pathogenesis PCOS remains elusive; however, there evidence suggesting potential contribution genetic interactions or predispositions combined with environmental factors. Among these, disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been proposed to potentially contribute etiology PCOS.
