Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects 10% of reproductive-aged women and leads to hyperandrogenism, anovulation, and infertility. PCOS has been associated with elevated serum homocysteine as well as altered methylation status; however, characterization of one-carbon metabolism (OCM) in PCOS remains incomplete.
