Abstract:   (1938 Views)
As clinical investigators and researchers exploring the role of insulin receptor gene (INSR) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), we wish to express our  concern about the study by Tehrani et al. (1) that aimed to explore the correlation between INSR and adiponectin genes and PCOS. We are afraid that it might have technical flaws and take confusion and concerns to the readership.
