Abstract excerpt

Androgen receptor (AR) has long been hypothesized to play an important role in prostate cancer etiology. Two trinucleotide repeat polymorphisms (CAG and GGC repeats in exon 1 of the AR gene) have been investigated as risk factors for prostate cancer in several studies. However, the results are inconclusive, probably because of the variations of study designs, characteristics of study samples, and choices of...
