## Abstract Because androgens likely play a key role in prostate growth and prostate cancer development, variants of genes involved in androgen biosynthesis may be related to prostate cancer risk. The enzyme P450c17Ξ±, encoded by the __CYP17__ gene, catalyzes the conversion of progesterone and pregn
