Although specific genes connected to polycystic ovary syndrome haven’t been identified, there is strong evidence that PCOS may be a genetic condition. If you have a direct relation (such as your mother, sister, grandmother or aunt) who has PCOS, you are more likely to have it as well. This also means you may be more likely to pass it on to your children as well.
Although PCOS can be passed on through genes, it is not contagious and you cannot spread it to other people, through contact.
