Constitutive activation of the androgen receptor by a point mutation in the hinge region: A new mechanism for androgen‐independent growth in prostate cancer
24 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Androgen receptor (AR) mutations that modify both the ligand binding and the transactivation capacities of the AR represent one of the mechanisms involved in the transition of prostate cancer (PCa) from androgen-dependent to androgen-independent growth. We use a yeast-based functional assay to detect and analyze mutant ARs in PCa. We report the detection of 2 different mutant ARs within the same metastatic tumour...
