Abstract excerpt
Assessment of quantitative impairment of reporter gene activation is an important strategy proving pathogenetic relevance of androgen receptor (AR)-gene mutations in androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). We hypothesized the additional existence of mutation-specific patterns of reduced target gene activation. Four AR-gene mutations causing AIS, L712F, M780I, R855H, and V866M, respectively, were recreated in an...
