Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Disease severity varies considerably among patients with Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA). Our aim was to investigate the role of androgen receptor (AR) polymorphic repeats in SBMA phenotype. METHODS: We analyzed the length of AR polyQ and polyG tracts in 159 SBMA patients. RESULTS: No relationship between polyG size or polyG/polyQ haplotypes and clinical phenotype was found. An...
