Androgen Receptor Gene CAG and GGN Repeat Polymorphisms in Chilean Men With Primary Severe Spermatogenic Failure

TL;DR: The results suggest that the CAG 21 allele seems to increase the risk of idiopathic Sertoli cell-only syndrome and the GGN 24 allele could be contributing to deranged androgen receptor function, associated with cryptorchidism and spermatogenic failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of 2-methoxyestradiol, an Endogenous Estrogen Metabolite, in Health and Disease.

TL;DR: The intracellular mechanisms by which 2ME2 exerts its effects on reproductive and non-reproductive tissues will be described and a group of 2 ME2-target genes that could be used as biomarkers of 2ME1 under physiological or pathophysiological conditions will be reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of CYP19A1 aromatase in Leydig cells is associated with steroidogenic dysfunction in subjects with Sertoli cell-only syndrome

TL;DR: Lc from infertile patients with signs of Lc dysfunction overexpressed aromatase and showed an increment of testicular E2, suggesting that increased expression of arom atase in Lc leads to higher E2 production and may account for the functional impairment of the Lc in patients with SCOS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgen receptor CAG and GGN polymorphisms in boys with isolated hypospadias.

TL;DR: Boys with isolated hypospadias have longer CAG alleles in their AR, which may be related with the development of this congenital malformation.
