[From gene to disease; androgen receptor gene, androgen insensitivity syndrome, and spinal and bulbar muscle atrophy].

Abstract excerpt

Androgen insensitivity is an X-linked disorder of male sexual differentiation resulting from a defective androgen receptor. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy's disease) is an X-linked disease, resulting from expansion of the polyglutamine stretch in the N-terminal part of the androgen receptor. Mutation analysis confirms the clinical diagnosis of androgen insensitivity and enables carrier detection and...
