We may conclude that the G1733A polymorphism of AR gene could be a useful genetic marker for the assessment of a woman's risk for CAD in our Caucasian Greek population.
We investigated the associations between the androgen receptor gene (CAG)n repeat polymorphism, which affects androgen receptor transcriptional activity, and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women undergoing coronary angiography.
Correlating androgen and estrogen steroid receptor expression with coronary calcification and atherosclerosis in men without known coronary artery disease.
The relationship of the length of the AR gene CAG repeat on the severity of CAD was examined in 131 men (36-86 years old) undergoing coronary angiography.
