Studies describe new findings in ovarian cancer research

Investigators in the United States and Canada have published new ovarian cancer data. Study 1: Scientists explored the relation between androgen receptor (AR) cytosine, adenine, guanine (CAG) repeats, and haplotypes and the risk of ovarian cancer. According to a study from the United States, "Biological and epidemiologic evidence suggest that androgen or its receptor may play a role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis. The most notable genetic factor influencing AR activity is the functional CAG repeat, in which length is inversely proportional to its transactivational activity. Additional genetic variation due to single nucleotide polymorphisms in the AR...
