research A Pharmacogenetic Survey of Androgen Receptor (CAG)N and (GGN)N Polymorphisms in Patients Experiencing Long Term Side Effects after Finasteride Discontinuation
Longer CAG and GGN repeats increase alopecia risk, but no significant link to post-finasteride syndrome found.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphism-Dependent Variation in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentrations of European Men
Certain genetic variants in the androgen receptor are linked to higher PSA levels, potentially affecting prostate cancer screening outcomes.
research Recent advances on the mechanisms of kidney stone formation (Review)
Kidney stones form due to factors like urine concentration, calcium deposits, hormones, gut bacteria, and immune response.
research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms (CAG Repeat Lengths) in Androgenetic Alopecia, Hirsutism, and Acne
Shorter CAG repeats may cause hair and skin issues, while longer ones may link to acne.

research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that androgen receptor gene polymorphism might be a marker for polycystic ovary syndrome, but more research is needed.

research Androgen receptor genetic variant predicts COVID‐19 disease severity: a prospective longitudinal study of hospitalized COVID‐19 male patients
A certain genetic variant in the androgen receptor may predict the severity of COVID-19 in men.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Polymorphism of CAG and GGN repeats of androgen receptor gene in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer GGN repeats in the androgen receptor gene are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The androgen receptor gene polyglycine repeat polymorphism is associated with memory performance in healthy Chinese individuals
Certain gene variations are linked to better memory in healthy Chinese women.
research Androgen receptor CAG repeat length is associated with ovarian reserve but not with ovarian response
The length of CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene is linked to ovarian reserve but does not affect how the ovaries respond to stimulation.
research COVID‐19, androgens, and androgenic alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research Interaction between estrogens and androgen receptor genes microsatellites, prostate-specific antigen and androgen receptor expressions in breast cancer
