Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The relationship between inherited germ-line variations in the 5α-reductase pathways of androgen biosynthesis and the risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) remains an unexplored area. OBJECTIVE: To determine the link between germ-line variations in the steroid-5α-reductase, α-polypeptide 1 (SRD5A1) and steroid-5α-reductase, α-polypeptide 2 (SRD5A2) genes and BCR....
