Abstract excerpt
The androgen receptor gene has a polymorphic trinucleotide repeat that encodes a polyglutamine tract in its N-terminal transactivation domain. We started this study in order to find out whether a correlation existed between the length of this polymorphic tract and the presence of azoospermia in candidates for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The CAG repeat length in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR)...
