CAG and GGN Repeat Length Polymorphisms of Androgen Receptor Gene in Women with Breast Cancer: A Case-Control Study from South India
Aim: The Androgen Receptor (AR) is a ligand-dependent transcriptional activator and the AR gene contains a highly polymorphic trinucleotide repeat CAG and GGN in the first exon. Given the lack of information AR-CAG and GGN repeat polymorphism and its potential correlation with breast cancer in South Indian women, we conducted a case-control study to observe the effects of CAG & GGN repeat lengt...

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 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 کاملAndrogen receptor exon 1 CAG repeat length and breast cancer in women before age forty years.
BACKGROUND We conducted a population-based, case-control-family study to determine whether androgen receptor (AR) exon 1 polymorphic CAG repeat length (CAGn) was a risk factor for early-onset breast cancer in the Australian population. METHODS Case subjects under 40 years of age at diagnosis of a first primary breast cancer and age-matched control subjects were interviewed to assess family hi...
متن کاملAndrogen receptor CAG and GGN repeat length variation contributes more to the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma
The androgen receptor (AR) is involved in the differentiation and growth of many cancers. We hypothesized that two microsatellite polymorphic variants, AR (CAG)n and (GGN)n repeats, were also associated with the development of Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and Osteosarcoma. In current study, we conducted two case-control studies in a Chinese population to investigate the possible relationship ...
