Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Length of a polymorphic cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) may inversely correlate with AR activity. We have identified an association between short AR allelotypes and decreased survival in women with epithelial ovarian cancer. We hypothesize short AR allelotypes promote aggressive ovarian cancer phenotype through modulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)...
