    TLDR Altered DNA methylation may be a marker for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
    In the 2021 study "Characterization of DNA Methylation and Screening of Epigenetic Markers in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome", researchers investigated the role of DNA methylation in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). They found that DNA methylation, an epigenetic mechanism that controls gene expression, was altered in women with PCOS. This suggested that changes in DNA methylation could be a potential marker for PCOS. However, the study did not specify the number of participants involved, limiting the strength of its conclusions.
