Abstract excerpt
Impaired virilisation during embryonic development and pubertal arrest in patients with androgen insensitivity syndromes (AIS) is usually caused by mutations in the androgen receptor (AR)- or the 5alpha-reductase II (5RII) gene. However, identical mutations may lead to strikingly different phenotypes. To investigate whether this may be caused by individually altered transcription rates in fibroblasts from the...
