Abstract excerpt
The androgen receptor (AR) regulates gene transcription by binding to androgen response elements in target gene promoters. The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) gene has a polymorphic androgen response element sequence with two alleles, A and G. We hypothesize that allelic differences in AR-driven PSA expression may influence prostate cancer risk. To test this hypothesis, we assayed PSA genotype for 57 prostate...
