Trinucleotide (CAG) repeat polymorphisms in the androgen receptor gene: molecular markers of risk for male infertility
Open accessAbstract
Objective To determine whether changes in the polymorphic trinucleotide (CAG) tract of the androgen receptor gene are associated with spermatogenic defects in patients with male infertility.Design Case-control study of two ethnic groups.Setting University referral centers for male infertility at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, and National University Hospital, Singapore.Participant(s) Two hundred and fifteen patients with male infertility and depressed spermatogenesis and 142 fertile controls.Main outcome measure(s) Size of androgen receptor CAG alleles according to fluorescent-labeled polymerase chain reaction and automated analysis using Genescan software (PE Biosystems Asia, Singapore), and statistical examination of its relation to clinical variables.Result(s) In U.S. patients, the mean androgen receptor CAG length was significantly longer in infertile patients than in fertile controls (21.95 +/- 0.31 vs. 20.72 +/- 0.52). Logistic regression showed that each unit increase in CAG length was associated with a 20% increase in the odds of being azoospermic. The odds ratio for azoospermia was sevenfold higher for patients with > or =26 CAG repeats than in those with <26 CAG repeats. Although mean CAG length in Singapore patients was longer than in the U.S. samples, long androgen receptor CAG alleles were significantly related to male infertility in both populations.Conclusion(s) Long (> or =26) androgen receptor CAG alleles, which are found in up to 25% of azoospermic men, are associated with male infertility and defective spermatogenesis. Conception in these men is possible with assisted reproductive technologies, as many have spermatozoa in their testes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
