Androgen receptor gene mutations in X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.

Nature - 4 Jul 1991

Abstract excerpt

X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy's disease) is an adult-onset form of motorneuron disease which may be associated with signs of androgen insensitivity. We have now investigated whether the androgen receptor gene on the proximal long arm of the X chromosome is a candidate gene for this disease. In patient samples we found androgen receptor gene mutations with increased size of a polymorphic...
