[ASSOCIATION OF ALLELE VARIANTS OF RECEPTOR GENE OF ANDROGENS (BY THE NUMBER OF CAG-REPEATS) WITH ANDROGEN DEPENDENT HORMONAL METABOLIC INDICES OF THE ORGANISM]
Abstract
This review discusses up-to-date conceptions concerning an association of androgen receptor gene (AR) allele (by the number of CAG-repeats) variations with the change of the receptor activity in humans. Different contradictory experiment results concerning the AR function dependence on the number of CAG-repeats have been analyzed. The authors discuss this problem paying mostly their attention to the interrelation between the number of CAG-repeats and indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism in males and females.
