Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin-induced plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) elevations. Since thrombophilic states correlate with high miscariage rates, as does PCOS, this study aimed at looking for thrombophilic predisposition in PCOS women compared with non-PCOS controls.
