androgen receptor gene mutations in 46, xy females
the androgen insensitivity syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder with a wide spectrum of phenotypic abnormalities, ranging from complete female to ambiguous forms that more closely resemble males. the primary abnormality is a defective androgen receptor protein due to a mutation of the androgen receptor gene. this prevents normal androgen action and thus leads to impaired virilization. a point m...
متن کاملAndrogen resistance caused by mutations in the androgen receptor gene.
Defects in the human androgen receptor cause a spectrum of defects in male phenotypic sexual development associated with abnormalities in the receptor protein assayed in cultured fibroblasts and in broken cell assays. In some patients these abnormalities are associated with absent ligand binding, in other qualitative or quantitative abnormalities of ligand binding are present, and in some no ab...
متن کاملThe androgen receptor gene mutations database
The current version of the androgen receptor (AR) gene mutations database is described. The total number of reported mutations has risen from 272 to 309 in the past year. We have expanded the database: (i) by giving each entry an accession number; (ii) by adding information on the length of polymorphic polyglutamine (polyGln) and polyglycine (polyGly) tracts in exon 1; (iii) by adding informati...
متن کاملAndrogen receptor mutations in prostate cancer.
We analyzed the frequency and relevance of mutations in the coding region of the androgen receptor (AR) in genomic DNA extracted from 137 specimens of prostate cancer. The specimens were obtained from the primary tumors of patients affected by stage B disease [15 nonmicrodissected (group 1A) and 84 microdissected (group 1B)] and from the metastatic deposits of individuals with stage D1 disease ...
متن کاملAndrogen receptor gene mutations in human prostate cancer.
We screened human prostate cancer tissues for the presence of somatic mutations in the hormone binding domain of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. Exons E-H were amplified from genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), which separates DNA fragments that differ by only a single base. We detected a mutation in exon E of the horm...
