    Remember:

    Each of our parents contribute to 1/2 of our

    genetic make-up. PCOS may be inherited, but

    other factors can impact development/symptoms.

    PCOS: Patterns of Inheritance

    KEY:

    no PCOS

    PCOS visible

    1. Let's say this is you - and you marry a man with no apparent

    symptoms, or history of, PCOS.

    2a. Your PCOS daughter marries a man

    with no symptoms, or family history of,

    PCOS.

    3a. They have 2 children - 1 boy, 1 girl.

    The daughter does not display

    symptoms of PCOS, but the boy does. He

    marries a woman with no symptoms of,

    or family history of, PCOS.

    4a. The non-PCOS daughter marries a

    man with no symptoms of, or family

    history of, PCOS.

    5. One of their children has outward

    symptoms of PCOS. How? It's in their

    DNA.

    2b. Your PCOS son marries a woman

    with no symptoms, or family history of,

    PCOS and they have 2 children - 1 boy

    and 1 girl. The son has prominent

    symptoms of PCOS.

    3b. Your son marries a woman with a

    strong family history of PCOS.

    4b. They have 2 children - 1 boy and 1

    girl. Both are impacted by PCOS.

    Wait! PCOS can affect men? You bet!

    Keep reading to find out how.

  • UNDERSTANDING HEREDITY USING A PUNNET SQUARE

    You've seen how PCOS can be passed from parent to child. But do you

    really understand how one child can display symptoms and one child

    not display symptoms?

    Remember high school biology? We're going to use a Punnet Square to

    help break things down a little more.

    REMEMBER:

    Each ofus is a

    combination of the

    DNA that our parents

    pass on to us. After an

    egg is fertilized, DNA

    begins to split and

    replicate. The person

    we become is (almost)

    completely dependent

    on the information

    contained in those

    copied chromosomes!

    We'll talk about

    factors that can

    influence heredity in a

    future issue, but right

    now the important

    concepts for you to

    understand are:

    PCOS is genetic

    PCOS can be passed

    frommotherorfather

    PCOS can impact any

    child - regardless of

    sex!
