Summary
This region represents the promoter of the cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 (CYP17A1) gene. This promoter is induced by cyclic AMP and is regulated by binding of nuclear factor I, nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A family members (e.g. Sf1/Lrh1), Sp1/3 transcription factors, and GATA binding proteins to defined recognition sites in this sequence. Signaling through transforming growth factor beta inhibits promoter activity. A polymorphism in the proximal promoter region (rs140012815) has been implicated by some studies in the risk of several reproductive hormone-related conditions, including polycystic ovarian syndrome and prostate cancer; however, these genetic associations were not confirmed in other studies or metastudies.

Although this base pair substitution is not the primary genetic defect in PCOS, it may aggravate the clinical picture of hyperandrogenemia, particularly when homozygosity exists.
