Esophageal cancer risk in relation to GGC and CAG trinucleotide repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene.

International journal of cancer - 20 Oct 2003

Dietzsch Erin, Laubscher Ria, Parker M Iqbal

Abstract excerpt

The incidence of esophageal squamous cell cancer in African males in South Africa is one of the highest in the world. Because most patients present with advanced disease such that survival is poor, the identification of high-risk individuals will facilitate early disease detection. Two polymorphic triplet repeats-(CAG)(n) and (GGC)(n)-in the androgen receptor gene were evaluated as potential genetic...
