Functional Analysis of Six Androgen Receptor Mutations Identified in Patients with Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome

Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome in Three Sisters

Variable loss of functional activities of androgen receptor mutants in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Androgen receptor (AR) mutations in androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) are associated with a variety of clinical phenotypes. The aim of the present study was to compare the molecular properties and potential pathogenic nature of 8 novel and 3 recurrent AR variants with a broad variety of functional assays. Eleven AR variants (p.Cys177Gly, p.Arg609Met, p.Asp691del, p.Leu701Phe, p.Leu723Phe, p...

Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Presenting with Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast caused by the proliferation of glandular breast tissue. Determining the various causes of gynecomastia such as physiological causes, drugs, systemic diseases, and endocrine disorders is important. Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a rare endocrine disorder presenting with gynecomastia and is a disorder of male sexual differentiation...

laparoscopic gonadectomy in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome: case series

background the gonadectomy in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome (ais) has been conventionally performed using laparotomic techniques. but currently several reports have suggested laparoscopic gonadectomy in these patients because of shorter hospital stay and minimal postoperative pain and hemorrhage. objective to report the laparoscopic gonadectomy in 11 patients suffering from andr...

Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome: A rare disease

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a rare disease, manifested as normal female external phenotype to infertile male with 46 XY karyotype due to different level of resistance of androgen receptor. Androgen insensitivy syndrome is classified as complete, partial and mild androgen insensitivity. Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome is further subclassified according to morphogenesis as predomin...
