Summary
This gene encodes the insulin receptor substrate 2, a cytoplasmic signaling molecule that mediates effects of insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1, and other cytokines by acting as a molecular adaptor between diverse receptor tyrosine kinases and downstream effectors. The product of this gene is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase upon receptor stimulation, as well as by an interleukin 4 receptor-associated kinase in response to IL4 treatment.

G972A variant 
PCOS was defined by oligo-ovulation, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism and exclusion of hyperprolactinaemia (serum prolactin <24 g/l), non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia [adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)-stimulated 17-hydroxyprogest

Spanish PCOS (n = 103) women compared with a control group (n = 48)  
The Gly972Arg in IRS-1 and Gly1057Asp in IRS-2 polymorphisms influence glucose homeostasis in premenopausal women, but are not associated with PCOS.

insulin resistance (n = 19), PCOS without insulin resistance (n = 17) and controls (n = 20) 
The decrease of tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-2 in PCOS patients, which induces impairment of the insulin signal pathway, may be one of the mechanisms leading to insulin resistance.

A pathway-based tagging SNP approach allowed us to identify novel INSR SNPs associated with PCOS, one of which confirmed association in a large replication cohort.

48 Iranian women diagnosed withPCOS were enrolled and 52 control 
Considering that no association between the IRS-1 Gly972Arg and IRS-2 Gly1057Asp polymorphisms and PCOS were found, the results confirm that these polymorphisms should not be considered as major contributors to the pathogenesis of this disorder.
