| Li et al. 2016 [102] | Granulosa cells | 10 PCOS vs 10 controls | NA/ NA | NA/ NA | SiRNAs target heat shock protein 90B1 |
| Song et al. 2018 [103] | Granulosa cells | 25 PCOS vs 25 controls | 27.77 ± 4.34/ 29.39 ± 3.37 | 21.24 ± 3.59/22.02 ± 3.30 | SiRNA 439, 1930, and 2117 target human insulin receptor gene |
