Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD) inactivating mutations cause cortisone reductase deficiency, which manifests with hyperandrogenism unexplained by commonly used tests and, thus, mimics polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to screen for mutations of H6PD gene in PCOS patients with biochemical hyperandrogenemia.
