A frame-shift mutation in the androgen receptor gene causes complete androgen insensitivity in the testicularfeminized mouse
1 Jan 1991
Abstract excerpt
The testicular feminized (Tfm) mouse lacks completely androgen responsiveness; and therefore, is unique for studying the role of androgenic steroids in different biological processes. In order to understand the molecular basis of this mutation, 2.8 kilobases of cDNA encoding the Tfm mouse androgen receptor (AR) were amplified with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. No large deletion in the coding region...
