PCOS and genes

Can PCOS be inherited? Most researchers think that PCOS runs in families. Women with PCOS tend to have a mother or sister with PCOS. Still, there is no proof that PCOS is inherited.
Among my immediate family I am the only with PCOS. Although both my sisters have irregular menstruation too. The eldest is married and was able to bear child. The youngest is still single and dreads going to the OB to have herself checked.
