Abstract excerpt
The CAG repeat (CAGn) present in the N-terminal region of the androgen receptor (AR) inversely correlates with AR transactivation activity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphic variation in the CAGn length is associated with the risk of developing ovarian cancer. Using a c...
