The aim of this study was to determine micronucleus (MN) frequencies in exfoliated cervical cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Fifteen patients with PCOS and 11 healthy control patients were included in the study. Cervical smears and peripheral blood were collected from all patients. Specimens were analyzed for MN frequencies and compared between the groups. In addition to MN, other nuclear anomalies connected with both genotoxicity and cytotoxicity were evaluated.
The MN frequencies in cervical smear and peripheral blood lymphocytes were compared in patients with PCOS and normal controls. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding micronucleus frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes (p=0.239). The mean MN scores in exfoliated cervical cells of patients with PCOS and normal controls were 1.19±0.57 and 0.74±0.34, respectively. The difference regarding micronucleus frequencies in cervical cells was statistically significant between the groups (p=0.032).
Although study group is small, our study results support that there is an increased micronucleus frequency in cervical exfoliated cells of PCOS patients; this is a determinant of genetic hazard in the disease.
本研究旨在确定多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)女性宫颈脱落细胞和外周血淋巴细胞中的微核(MN)频率。
本研究纳入了15例PCOS患者和11例健康对照患者。采集所有患者的宫颈涂片和外周血。对标本进行微核频率分析并在组间进行比较。除微核外,还评估了与遗传毒性和细胞毒性相关的其他核异常。
比较了PCOS患者和正常对照者宫颈涂片和外周血淋巴细胞中的微核频率。两组在外周血淋巴细胞微核频率方面无统计学显著差异(p = 0.239)。PCOS患者和正常对照者宫颈脱落细胞中的平均微核评分分别为1.19±0.57和0.74±0.34。两组在宫颈细胞微核频率方面的差异具有统计学意义(p = 0.032)。
尽管研究组规模较小,但我们的研究结果支持PCOS患者宫颈脱落细胞中的微核频率增加;这是该疾病遗传风险的一个决定因素。
