So I would just like to turn it over to Ellen to talk a little bit more about these different phenotypes as well as why we decided to change the name from PCOS to PMOS so we can better understand this spectrum of disease.
4:30
Thank you, and thank you for inviting me to participate in this podcast.
4:35
So I think one of the problems with the different phenotypes that were existing for PCOS is that we don't know the etiology of PCOS.
4:49
So you're creating phenotypes, and what they are is literally phenotypes.
4:54
They're how different patients appear, which doesn't necessarily reflect the pathophysiology of their condition.
5:04
And some of the categorization into phenotypes may actually cause people to lose some findings that are important.
5:14
So unless someone has a specific hypothesis about one of the phenotypes, I don't use phenotypes.
