"The syndrome has a strong genetic component although, as with diabetes, environmental factors can affect the degree and nature of symptoms. Paternal transmission with PCOS occurs over 80% of the time when the father is affected with the gene. Males carrying the gene that causes PCOS in women may have hypothyroid, Syndrome X, diabetes (especially type 2), heart problems, poor lipid profile, inability to grow a full beard, or premature balding. Maternal transmission occurs approximately 45% of the time."
