The prospective correlation between GGN and CAG repeat polymorphisms of androgen receptors and testicular cancer

Worldwide testicular cancer (TC) is a contributing factor towards male infertility at reproductive age. A gradual increase had been observed in TC especially in Western countries. Prevalence of TC was found to be more common in Caucasian populations as compared to Africans and Asians due to variation among genetic makeup of individuals that varies their susceptibility to anomalies like cryptorchidism, hydroceles and inguinal hernias (1).
