Androgen receptor CAG polymorphism and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in a Brazilian population

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very frequent age-related proliferative abnormality in men. Polymorphic CAG repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) can alter transactivation of androgen-responsive genes and potentially influence BPH risk. We investigated the association between CAG repeat lengt...
