Prostate cancer is a common disease, yet determinants of prostate cancer risk remain largely unidentified. Low circulating levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25-D) have been implicated as a risk factor for prostate cancer. In addition, 1,25-D exhibits significant antineoplastic properties both in

## Abstract The androgen receptor (__AR__) gene is a transcription factor responsible for mediating the physiological effects of androgens. Evidence suggests that androgens and the androgen receptor are involved in uterine cell proliferation. A polymorphic CAG repeat in exon 1 of the __AR__ gene en
## Abstract The transcriptional activity of the vitamin D receptor (__VDR__) gene is regulated, at least in part, by the androgen receptor (__AR__) gene. We evaluate how the number of polyglutamine (CAG) repeats of the __AR__ gene influence colorectal cancer in conjunction with vitamin D, sunshine
