Little is known about risk factors for the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Recently, associations were observed between prostate cancer (CaP) risk and polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the androgen receptor (AR) gene. Since both receptors are relevant for prostate growth, the VDR and AR are also expected to be involved in the development of BPH. The objective of this study is to establish the relationship between the risk of BPH and a polymorphism in the number of CAG repeats in the AR gene and a TaqI restriction enzyme polymorphism in the VDR gene.
