MOTS-c in adolescent PCOS: a study without a clear group difference

Investigators compared serum measurements and one mitochondrial variant in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and controls.

Human physiology studyPaper year: 2026MOTS-c

01 / DESIGN

What was studied?

Investigators compared serum measurements and one mitochondrial variant in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and controls.

02 / FINDINGS

What did the researchers report?

The serum difference did not meet the study's statistical threshold. All participants carried the same genotype at the investigated position.

03 / LIMITS

How should it be interpreted?

A uniform genotype cannot test the consequences of alternative variants. This observational study provides no evidence that administering MOTS-c changes PCOS outcomes.
