Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Androgen receptor (AR) was detected in leiomyoma. AR gene has a polymorphic microsatellite encoding cytosine, adenine, and guanine (CAG) repeats. We aimed to investigate the association between the AR gene CAG repeats and leiomyoma. METHODS: Women were divided into two groups: (1) leiomyoma (n = 159); (2) non- leiomyoma groups (n = 129). Their CAG repeats were detected by polymerase chain reaction. The...
