Abstract excerpt
Molecular studies on the role of the androgen receptor in male infertility have thus far concentrated solely on exonic regions of the androgen receptor gene. We have therefore screened for the first time the androgen receptor gene 5' untranslated region (nucleotides -153 to +237 ) in 240 males with idiopathic infertility for lesions which could potentially impair spermatogenesis. This region encompasses the...
