This familial aggregation of hyperandrogenemia in PCOS kindreds suggests that it is a genetic trait.

Its association with indices of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia is also seen in the same group.

The sisters were compared with 70 healthy age- and weight-comparable control women with regular menses, no clinical evidence of hyperandrogenemia, and normal glucose tolerance.
