  ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to determine the level of underlying DNA damage in females with PCOS. Twenty-two women with PCOS and twenty-two healthy controls were included in this study. Patients were further categorized into three phenotypic subgroups: Subgroup A, oligo/anovulation (ANOV) and polycystic ovaries (PCO); Subgroup B, hyperandrogenism (HA) as a main characteristic (HA + ANOV or HA + PCO); Subgroup C, all three conditions present (HA + ANOV + PCO). The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was used as an index of cytogenetic damage. Proliferation rate index (PRI), mitotic index (MI), average generation time (AGT) and population doubling time (PDT) were also evaluated. A significant (p
