Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms and expression of steroid receptors may explain why some individuals are more at risk of developing prostate cancer. Some risk factors often discussed are androgen stimulation, and vitamin A and D deficiency. Long CAG-repeats in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene on the X chromosome seem to have a protective role against androgen overstimulation. Likewise, long vitamin D...
