pubmed:abstractText |
The length of polymorphic CAG trinucleotide repeats in the polyglutamine region of the androgen receptor (AR) gene has been suggested to be inversely correlated with the transactivation function of the AR. An increase in androgen activity may be associated with prostate cancer, and ethnic variations in CAG repeat length may contribute to varying prostate cancer risks in different populations. This case-control study investigated the potential role of AR polymorphism in prostate cancer risk in Taiwanese.
