Abstract

Objective: To investigate the association between the length of the polymorphic trinucleotide CAG microsatellite repeats in exon 1 of the AR gene and the risk of prostate cancer containing TMPRSS2:ETS fusion genes.

Methods: This nested case-control study came from subjects enrolled in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial and included 195 biopsy-proven prostate cancer cases with a known TMPRSS2:ETS status and 1344 matched controls.

Results: There was no association between the CAG repeat length and the risk of TMPRSS2:ETS–positive (odds ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.91-1.04) or TMPRSS2:ETS–negative prostate cancer (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 0.97-1.11) and in patients with low- or high-grade disease.

Conclusion: Our findings suggested that AR CAG repeats are not associated with TMPRSS2:ETS formation in prostate cancer.
