We hypothesised alterations in the prevalence of four miRNAs single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants miR-126 rs4636297, miR-146a rs2910164, miR-196a2 rs11614913, and miR-499 rs3746444 in women with PCOS in comparison to healthy controls.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> SNPs in the four miRNAs were determined in 385 patients and 385 controls by standard RT-PCR techniques.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> SNPs in miR-126 and miR-246a were significant linked with PCOS under the allelic, dominant, co-dominant, and recessive models (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> \u2264 0.01). The SNP in miR-499 was linked to PCOS in allelic (T, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002), dominant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.035) and recessive (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.003) models. The SNPs -196a was significant linked to PCOS only in the recessive model (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.037). Combining these SNPs in miR-499, mi146a, miR-196a and miR-126 respectively into allele haplotypes found highly significant odds ratios (95% CI) of 0.40 (0.29\u20130.54) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) for the C-G-C-G haplotype, and 0.46 (0.30\u20130.70) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002) for the C-C-C-A haplotype (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002) for PCOS.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Single SNPs and haplotype combinations in certain SNPs in miR-126, miR-146a, miR-196a2 and miR-499 are strongly linked to PCOS, and so may be useful predictors of this condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/bjbs.2021.10209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]],"date-time":"2022-02-07T12:13:23Z","timestamp":1644236003000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Genetic Variants miR-126, miR-146a, miR-196a2, and miR-499 in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.
