## Abstract The incidence of esophageal squamous cell cancer in African males in South Africa is one of the highest in the world. Because most patients present with advanced disease such that survival is poor, the identification of highβrisk individuals will facilitate early disease detection. Two

## Abstract Changes in the length of a polymorphic trinucleotide (CAG) repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which may lead to altered transactivation of the AR gene, have been implicated to play a role in the pathogenesis of several forms of endocrine cancer and certain reproductive disorders
Uterine endometrial carcinoma is common among women. Several reports indicated that this cancer is influenced by androgens mediated through their receptors. The human androgen receptor gene contains a polymorphic CAG repeat in the coding region of exon 1. Other studies suggested a possible associati
## Abstract Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in the development and progression of lung cancer. A previous report noted that an increased number of polymorphic CA repeats in the first intron of the __EGFR__ gene results in decreased transcriptional activity. To estima
