Enrolling of 150 female patients of fertile age diagnosed with PCOS, insulin resistance, infertility, or mitochondrial disease, and the same number of age- and sex-matched controls are planned.
During the research biomarkers already with mitochondrial dysfunction in the scientific literature and common mtDNA abnormalities (deletions, point mutations, copy number changes, etc.) are examined.

history of infertility associated with other multisystemic phenotypes, mitochondrial dysfunction
a known history of mitochondrial dysfunction and PCOS and/or IR
