Research is being conducted on the prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis in adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome. Studies are also examining the presence of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as the broader relationship between autoimmune diseases and various conditions, including affective disorders and celiac disease. The scope of these studies appears to be global, with some focusing on specific populations, such as Emirati medical students or women in the US and India.
