ClinConnect Summary

The Offspring Born to Mothers with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Guangzhou Cohort study (PCOS-BIG) is a research project aimed at understanding how being exposed to a mother's condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) during pregnancy can affect a child's health both in the short term and as they grow older. Researchers in Guangzhou, China, are collecting information about the mothers, such as their health, diet, and education, as well as samples like blood and tissue from the children to see how these factors influence health later in life.

To participate in this study, children must be born to mothers who have been diagnosed with PCOS and who are planning to give birth at the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center. There are no specific exclusions, so it’s open to all children born to these mothers. If eligible, families can expect to provide health information and biological samples as part of the research, helping scientists learn more about the impact of PCOS on the next generation.
