Objective: To determine whether the CAG repeat length of the androgen receptor (AR) gene contributes to individual differences in the susceptibility to the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Design: Retrospective case-control study.Setting: University-based clinic.Patient(s): One hundred six nondiabetic women with PCOS and 112 nonhirsute fertile controls.Intervention(S): Androgen receptor gene CAG repeat length was analyzed in women with PCOS and their controls.Main Outcome Measure(s): Androgen receptor gene CAG repeat length in both groups.Result(S): The mean CAG(n) was 21.5 repeats in both groups (NS; t-test). Furthermore, when the CAG(n) lengths were divided into three categories (CAG(n) = 25), the distribution was similar in both groups (NS; X-2 test). However, all five women carrying
