Polymorphic repeats in the androgen receptor gene in high-risk sibships.

The Prostate - 1 Aug 2001

Miller E A, Stanford J L, Hsu L, Noonan E, Ostrander E A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic susceptibility may explain some familial clusters of prostate cancer. The polymorphic androgen receptor (AR) gene, which mediates androgen activity in the prostate, is a candidate gene that may influence predisposition to the disease. METHODS: We analyzed the polymorphic (CAG)n and (GGN)n repeats within the AR gene in men from 51 high-risk prostate cancer sibships, which included at least one...
