PCOS is a heterogenous illness that can cause infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and hirsutism, among other symptoms. The clinical diagnosis is primarily a diagnosis of exclusion if one or more of the three primary symptoms, namely, oligo- or anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology, are present. Obesity and PCOS are often coexisting disorders that may be bidirectionally causally related. Phenotypic heterogeneity throughout the reproductive lifespan, such as the overlap of PCOS symptoms with regular fluctuations in a woman\u2019s menstrual cycle and metabolism during the menarche and menopausal transition, further complicates diagnosis. PCOS etiology is mostly unknown and complex, likely due to the fact that it is a group of disorders with overlapping metabolic and reproductive problems. Evidence-based, common, standardized guidelines for PCOS diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. Genomics and clinical data from populations across diverse ages and ethnicities are urgently needed to build efficient machine learning models for the stratification of PCOS. PCOS subtype-specific strategies for early screening, an accurate diagnosis, and management throughout life will optimize healthcare resources and reduce unnecessary testing. This will pave the way for women to be able to take the best possible care of their own health using the latest clinical expertise combined with their unique needs and preferences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2024.1358755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,7]],"date-time":"2024-02-07T23:21:14Z","timestamp":1707348074000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["PCOS stratification for precision diagnostics and treatment"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Anagha","family":"Joshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"557","DOI":"10.1159\/000114210","article-title":"Relationship between insulin and sex hormone-binding globulin levels during weight loss in obese women","volume":"51","author":"Akin","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ann.
