I can't remember where I've read this, but I did read that PCOS is "believed" to be passed down through a gene on the fathers side. In my case, it makes sense...my fathers aunt had all the classic symptoms of PCOS (where she got it from - who knows) but that was way before there was a name for PCOS.
