P-118: Triplet Nucleotide Repeats Expansion (CAG and GGN) of Androgen Receptor Gene in Infertile Patients with Abnormal Spermogram
Background s:648:"The infertility has recently been estimated to affect approximately 9% of couples worldwide. Androgens and a functional androgen receptor (AR) are essential for normal development of the male gender, and for maintenance of spermatogenesis throughout the life. Two polymorphic trinucleotide repeats, CAG and GGN, encoding for the amino acids glutamine and glycine, respectively ar...
متن کاملAndrogen receptor gene CAG and GGN repeat polymorphisms in Chilean men with primary severe spermatogenic failure.
There is ample documentation supporting the fact that androgens are required for normal spermatogenesis. A minority of infertile men have abnormal testosterone blood levels or mild androgen receptor mutations. We investigated the androgen receptor CAG and GGN repeat lengths in Chilean men with spermatogenic impairment. We studied 117 secretory azoospermic/oligozoospermic men (93 idiopathic and ...
متن کاملthe study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region
چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولAndrogen receptor polymorphism (CAG repeats) and androgenicity.
Objective Polymorphism of the androgen receptor (AR) has been related to various pathophysiological conditions, such as osteoporosis and infertility. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the frequency of distribution in a normal Italian population and to assess CAG repeats (CAGr) in other conditions, such as hypoandrogenism, potentially influenced by AR polymorphism. Patients and measu...
متن کاملThe androgen receptor gene GGN microsatellite and prostate cancer risk.
The androgen receptor (AR) gene contains a polymorphic GGN microsatellite in exon 1, which encodes polyglycine in the amino terminus of the AR. Previous work has shown that a polymorphic region of CAG repeats also in exon 1 is inversely related to the ability of the AR to transactivate other genes and to prostate cancer risk. We investigated whether AR gene GGN repeat length is related to prost...
