rs10818854

rs10818854 is an intronic variant in DENND1A, a gene whose theca-cell-specific splice isoform (DENND1A.V2) upregulates CYP17A1 and CYP11A1 expression to increase ovarian androgen biosynthesis. Multiple genome-wide and candidate-gene studies, primarily in Asian cohorts, associate the variant allele with increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome, though replication has been inconsistent in some other ancestries.
