    PCOS and NAFLD are common endocrine-metabolic disorders with significant comorbidity, yet their molecular mechanisms are not well understood.

  • 2

    The study utilized transcriptomic datasets and machine learning algorithms to identify FCGBP as a key gene in PCOS-NAFLD comorbidity.

  • 3

    In a rat model, FCGBP expression was significantly increased in ovarian and hepatic tissues, indicating its role in both conditions.

  • 4

    FCGBP silencing in KGN cells restored estrogen secretion and affected key metabolic enzymes, while in HepG2 cells it reduced lipid accumulation.

  • 5

    The findings suggest FCGBP as a potential molecular regulator for hormonal and metabolic dysfunctions in PCOS-NAFLD comorbidity.
