    Highlights • GWAS have identified FHSR, LHCGR, INSR , and DENND1A as PCOS candidate genes. • Overexpression of DENND1A variant 2 increases androgen biosynthesis in theca cells from normal cycling women, converting them to a PCOS phenotype. • DENND1A, LHCGR, INSR , and RAB5B form a hierarchal signaling network that can influence androgen synthesis. • DENND1A variant 2 is a new diagnostic and therapeutic target for PCOS.
