Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, affecting 6%--10% of women worldwide. Objective: The study aimed to assess the relation of serum amylin level in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in Salah Al-din City from 10th of November 2018, to 20th of May 2019. The number of polycystic ovary syndrome women under study was 51 women whose ages were between 18 and 45 years old. These women admitted to obstetrics and gynecology unit at Salah Al-din Teaching Hospital. The control group who were matched to the patients studied included 37 women. Finding: The study showed that there is the significant difference between PCOS women and the control group concerning serum amylin level and the highest mean of amylin was occurred in PCOS women (183.12 ± 10.021 vs. 23.62 ± 1.97). There was a weak positive correlation between body mass index and amylin level among PCOS women in this study. The highest rate of PCOS women had irregular menstrual cycle.
