Background and aim: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, and results from interaction between modifiable and non-modifiable factors, including genetic predisposition. Previous genomewide association studies and meta-analysis identified DENND1A as PCOS susceptibility locus in some, but not all populations. We investigated whether the association of DENNDIA gene variants with PCOS was similar between Tunisian and Bahraini Arab women.Subjects and methods: This was retrospective case-control study. Study subjects comprised 320 women with PCOS, and 446 age-and ethnically-matched control women. Genotyping of DENNDIA rs10818854, rs2479106, and rs10986105 variants was done by real-time PCR.Results: Minor allele frequency of rs10818854 and rs10986105 DENND1A variants were significantly higher among women with PCOS. Setting homozygous wild-type genotype carrier as reference, rs10818854 and rs10986105 were associated with increased risk of PCOS, which persisted after controlling for key covariates, while reduced PCOS risk was seen with only rs2479106 under the additive model. This assigned PCOS susceptibility and protective nature to these genotypes, respectively. Both rs10818854 and rs10986105 were positively associated with HOMA-IR and AMH in women with PCOS. Haploview analysis revealed limited linkage disequilibrium between the tested DENNDIA variants. Extensive diversity in haplotypes assignment was seen, with most haplotypes (99.5%) captured by 5 haplotypes. Taking GAT haplotype as reference, AAG, and GAG haplotypes were positively, while GAT haplotype was negatively associated with PCOS.Conclusion: The association of DENNDIA rs10818854 and rs10986105 variants with PCOS in Tunisian but not Bahraini women confirms the dependence of this association on the ethnic/racial origin of study subjects.
