Some cases have : been reported of women with both PKD & PCOS, but the genetic mutations found thus far in patients with Autosomal Dominant & Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease differ from those found in patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. Overall, no ^ed rate of PCOS has been found in women with PKD or those who have family members with PKD.
