Abstract excerpt
The prostate gland is an androgen-dependent, and polymorphisms in androgen synthesis gene steroid 5-alpha reductase type II (SRD5A2) may be associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. We evaluated the association between 3 polymorphisms in the SRD5A2 gene (2 single nucleotide polymorphism: alanine-49 to threonine [A49T] and valine-89 to leucine [V89L], and a (TA)n dinucleotide repeat...
