Failure of podocalyxin suppression and HOXA10/HOXA11 activation characterizes endometrial dysfunction in hyperandrogenic PCOS

Key Points

• Endometrial dysfunction is associated with suppressed podocalyxin levels and activated HOXA10 and HOXA11 patterns.
• The suppression of podocalyxin was linked to hyperandrogenic conditions prevalent in PCOS, suggesting a critical pathway.
• Analysis of endometrial tissue revealed patterns of HOXA gene activation, supporting the role of hormonal imbalances in dysfunction.
• The findings indicate the need for further exploration into therapeutic strategies targeting these molecular pathways.
