Figure 1. Display of the X-chromosome with the AR gene. Exon 1 contains a variable number of CAG repeats encoding a polyglutamine stretch of variable length in the receptor protein. The number of CAG repeats or length of polyglutamine residues is inversely associated with the transcriptional activity of androgen-dependent genes, hence androgen effects in target tissues. AR: Androgen receptor.
