1 Trinucleotide (CAG) repeat polymorphisms in the androgen receptor gene: molecular markers of risk for male infertility  Amparo Mifsud, B.Sc., Chris K.S Sim, B.Sc., Holly Boettger-Tong, Ph.D., Sergio Moreira, M.D., Dolores J Lamb, Ph.D., Larry I Lipshultz, M.D., Eu Leong Yong, M.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 75, Issue 2, Pages (February 2001) DOI: /S (00)

2 Figure 1 (A), Polymorphic segments in exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene. The polymorphic CAG repeat tract (shaded box) and fragment containing codon 211 were amplified with flanking primers (arrows). Codons were numbered according to the method of Lubahn et al. (26). (B), Genescan analyses of androgen receptor CAG length. Electropherograms show alleles with 29 (A), 22 (B), and 14 (C) CAG repeats from azoospermic men, oligospermic men, and fertile controls, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction fragments (arrows) were internally labeled with a fluorescent marker (dCTP, R6G), and their length was measured by using red internal size standards (ROX, 500). Mifsud.
