Abstract excerpt
We have discovered in the X-linked androgen receptor gene a single nucleotide substitution that is the putative cause of complete androgen insensitivity (resistance) in a family with affected individuals in 2 generations. Earlier studies on the family indicated co-segregation of mutant phenotype and the RFLPs at the loci DXS1 and DXYS1. The mutation is an adenine-to-thymine transversion in exon 8 that changes the...
