Previous studies highlight the association of Graves’ diseases and PCOS
was presented, although comparably rare to hypothyroidism events.(12,
13, 15, 16) In previous case series, the clinical observation of
coexisting of definite PCOS and active form of Graves’ disease
emphasized the role of autoimmunity in the development of PCOS,
suggesting a common pathogenic linkage between these two diseases.(13)

prevalence of TRAb, which is crucial in the evaluation of Graves’
disease,(17) has also been described in PCOS patients.(14)
