CYP17 encodes the enzyme cytochrome P-450c17β£, which mediates both 17β£-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A polymorphism in the 5 promoter region of the CYP17 gene has been described. Steroid hormones, especially androgens, are believed to play a key role in the etiolog
## Abstract It is widely recognized that androgen biosynthesis and metabolism are associated with the development and progression of prostate cancer. The human CYP11A1 gene (__CYP11A1__) encodes the P450scc enzyme, which mediates the first step in sex steroid hormone synthesis. The gene contains a
## Abstract __CCND1__ mRNA is alternatively spliced to produce 2 transcripts, and the splicing pattern may be modulated by a frequent __A__870__G__ singleβnucleotide polymorphism within the conserved splice donor site of exon 4. Several studies have suggested a significant association between the _
