METHODS: We examined the AR gene CAG repeat length and measures of weight and body mass index (BMI) in 27 non-syndromic obese and 33 lean controls and for the first time compared with 28 individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a rare obesity-related genetic disorder with natural sex hormone deficits to examine the effects of AR gene CAG repeat length on androgen-mediated response and obesity-related factors relevant to human infertility and reproduction.
