Abstract excerpt
The androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations of the androgen receptor (AR) gene resulting in a spectrum of sex phenotypes that ranges from complete female (complete AIS) to nearly complete male (partial AIS). Using the polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, we have analyzed the AR gene in three 46,XY individuals with partial AIS. In one...
