dc.description.abstractExposure of environmental toxicants such as potentially toxic metals and pesticides have largely been attributed to produce adverse effects on general women's health and to be more precise on the reproductive system. In order to explore exposure of toxicants and metabolizing gene variants as risk factor for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), literature search was carried out using the databases PubMed, Central Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Science Direct with appropriate keywords upto 6 December 2020. While most of the studies indicate higher serum Cu concentration and lower concentration of Mn as risk factor, studies also report presence of higher pesticide concentration in PCOS women. Genes such as MTHFR, CYPs participate in the metabolism of toxicants and may show different response due to underlying genetic variants. Thus, toxicant exposure are to some extent responsible for the pathogenesis of syndrome through oxidative stress and endocrine disruption, but the susceptibility may vary due to the underlying genetic polymorphism of the exposed population. � 2021 Elsevier Inc.en_US
