Effect of GGC (glycine) repeat length polymorphism in the human androgen receptor on androgen action

1 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human androgen receptor (AR) contains glutamine (CAG) and glycine (GGC) repeat length polymorphisms. Normal glutamine repeat length affects androgen action, but an effect of normal glycine repeat length has not been studied. METHODS: To determine whether glycine/GGC repeat length affects AR function, we constructed AR cDNA expression vectors with different GGC repeat lengths in the physiological...
