Association studies for single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding steroid 5alpha-reductase, estrogen receptors 1 and 2, and activating transcription factor 3 have been equivocal. We examined whether nonreplication of findings for 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms in these genes could be due to interaction with...
