Tandem CAG repeats of the androgen receptor gene and prostate cancer risk in black and white men.

Endocrine - 1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

The most common malignancy in men worldwide is cancer of the prostate. Androgens play a direct role in normal and malignant growth of prostate cells via the androgen receptor (AR). This study analyzed the polymorphic CAG repeat sequence in exon 1 of the AR gene to determine if the number of repeats might be an indicator of prostate cancer risk or aggressive disease. DNA was extracted from blood samples of 20...
