Target organ resistance to steroid hormone action is known to produce clinical disorders ranging from testicular feminization in the case of androgen resistance to hypocalcemic vitamin D-resistant ricets (HVDRR) in the case of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The etiologic basis of these disorders is thought to be genetic mutations in the gene encoding receptors for these hormones. We investigated this possibility by...
