Abstract excerpt
In a patient with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), we identified a single inherited presumably silent nucleotide variation (AGC -> AGT) in exon 8 (codon 888) of the AR gene. However, in the patient's genital skin fibroblasts, a considerably shortened transcript of 5.5 kb (normal: 10.5 kb) was detected, which misses a part of exon 8 and a prominent portion of the 3'-untranslated region. The...
