Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the coding segment of the androgen receptor gene in a patient (N105) with the receptor-negative form of complete testicular feminization has revealed a single substitution (CGC----TGC) at nucleotide 2476. This alteration results in the conversion of an arginine at amino acid 772 to a cysteine. Introduction of this mutation into an androgen receptor cDNA and transfection of...
