Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association between polymorphic expansion of trinucleotide CAG repeats in androgen receptor (AR) gene and breast cancer risk among Iranian women in a matched case-control study. There was a strong overall association between per CAG repeat increments in average repeat length and the risk of the malignancy [OR=3.56; 95% CI, 2.80-5.29]. Women carrying one or two alleles with [CAG]n repeat ≥22...
