The genetic variants of genes regulating insulin action, expression and regulation are suggested as possible factors involved in development and severity of clinical manifestations in PCOS. Aim: We investigated whether IRS-1Gly972Arg (rs1801278) polymorphism is associated with increased risk of PCOS in Kashmiri women. The correlation of various clinical, metabolic and hormonal markers with rs1801278 single nucleotide polymorphism was analyzed. The genotypic\u2013phenotypic association of clinical manifestations of PCOS with the tested genetic variant was also assessed. Results: There were no significant differences in allele frequency (OR = 0.87, CI = 0.59\u20131.29, \u03c72 = 0.456, p = 0.499) or genotypic distribution (\u03c72 = 3.73, p = 0.15) between PCOS women and controls. No significant association was also found in the dominant (OR = 1.63, \u03c72 = 0.377, p = 0.53), recessive (OR = 0.79, \u03c72 = 1.01, p = 0.31) or heterozygote vs. homozygote (OR = 1.34, \u03c72 = 1.53, p = 0.22) genotype model analysis. The genotype\u2013phenotype correlation analysis showed that the Arg allele was significantly associated with increased central adiposity markers hip circumference (p = 0.012), and body adiposity index BAI (p = 0.002) in the recessive model in PCOS women. The two-hour glucose (p = 0.04) and insulin resistance marker HOMA (p = 0.44) were significantly higher in Arg allele carriers. The androgen excess markers dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate DHEAS (p = 0.02), Ferriman\u2013Gallwey score (p = 0.012), prevalence of acne, alopecia and hirsutism (all p &lt; 0.01) were significantly elevated in the wild-type GG genotype. Conclusions:IRS-1Gly972Arg genetic variant does not increase the risk of PCOS in Kashmiri women. However, this polymorphism is associated with clinical manifestations of insulin resistance, obesity and hyperandrogenism, suggesting its possible role in variable phenotypic manifestations of PCOS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes13081463","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]],"date-time":"2022-08-17T21:23:56Z","timestamp":1660771436000},"page":"1463","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Insulin Receptor Substrate 1 Gly972Arg (rs1801278) Polymorphism Is Associated with Obesity and Insulin Resistance in Kashmiri Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4357-0367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shayaq Ul Abeer","family":"Rasool","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, University of Kashmir, Srinagar 190006, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mudasar","family":"Nabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, University of Kashmir, Srinagar 190006, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sairish","family":"Ashraf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, University of Kashmir, Srinagar 190006, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1631-3429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shajrul","family":"Amin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, University of Kashmir, Srinagar 190006, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2098","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dsx.2019.05.003","article-title":"Elevated fasting insulin is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome","volume":"13","author":"Rasool","year":"2019","journal-title":"Diabetes Metab.
