Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the causal architecture of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women aged 18 to 45. The main questions it aims to answer are: What does the hormonal, metabolic, and clinical architecture of PCOS look like across a diverse global population? Can the causal architecture of PCOS be reconstructed from existing lab results and clinical data? Are there distinct architectural patterns across different groups of women with PCOS? Participants who have been diagnosed with PCOS by a healthcare provider will complete an online questionnaire about their diagnosis, symptoms, clinical history, current treatment, and existing lab results. Participants will also be asked to submit copies of their most recent blood work and lab results. No intervention or treatment is involved. All data is de-identified.
