Androgen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism and X-Chromosome Inactivation in Children with Premature Adrenarche
6 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: There is variation in the adrenal androgen levels and clinical findings of children with premature adrenarche (PA). OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that androgen sensitivity, indicated by the length of CAG repeat in the X-chromosomal androgen receptor (AR) gene has a role in the polygenic pathogenesis of PA. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We performed a cross-sectional association study among 73 Finnish Caucasian...
