Background: Decreased sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). SHBG polymorphisms associated with reduced SHBG production were tested for their association with PCOS, but with inconclusive results. We tested whether altered SHBG levels and SHBG variants were associated with PCOS. Methods: The study subjects included 242 women with PCOS and 238 control women. SHBG genotyping was done by real-time PCR. Results: Higher minor allele frequency of rs13894, rs858521 and rs727428 was seen in PCOS cases, and significant differences in rs858521 and rs727428 genotypes distribution were seen between PCOS cases and controls. Multivariate regression analysis confirmed the association of only rs727428 with PCOS. Though it was not statistically significant, serum SHBG levels were reduced according to rs727428 genotypes in PCOS cases than in controls. Carriage of rs727428 minor allele was associated with significant increases in free/bioactive testosterone in PCOS cases. Seven-locus (rs9898876-rs13894-rs858521-rs1799941-rs6257-rs6259-rs727428) haploview analysis showed increased frequency of GCCGTGA, GTCGTGA and GTCATGG, and reduced frequency of GTCGTGG haplotypes in PCOS cases than in controls, thus conferring disease susceptibility and protective nature to these haplotypes, respectively. Conclusion: Specific SHBG variants affecting serum SHBG levels and SHBG haplotypes are associated with PCOS, suggesting the role for SHBG as PCOS candidate gene.

Abstract. The adrenal participation in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome is still under debate. In order to reappraise androgen and glucocorticoid secretion in this disease, we measured serum androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate, total and free testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, LH, FSH, PRL, cortisol, corticosteroid-binding globulin, and urinary free cortisol in 45 women with polycystic ovary syndrome and 27 controls, subdivided in obese and normal-weight subjects. Androstenedione, total and free testosterone were significantly increased, whereas sex hormone-binding globulin tended to be reduced in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared with controls, reaching a significant difference between obese patients and matched controls. Free testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin were significantly increased and reduced, respectively, in obese compared with normal-weight patients. Urinary free cortisol and serum corticosteroid-binding globulin were significantly increased (p<0.001) and decreased (p<0.005), respectively. Urinary free cortisol exceeded the upper limit of the normal range in 50% of our patients. No appreciable differences were found in PRL and cortisol levels. Besides confirming a hyperandrogenic state, our findings point to an overactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with subsequent diminution of corticosteroid-binding globulin in polycystic ovary syndrome. They also indicate that urinary free cortisol is not a reliable index in differentiating polycystic ovary syndrome from Cushing's disease.
