Abstract excerpt
A single-base substitution in the coding region of the androgen receptor (AR) gene caused complete androgen insensitivity in a patient with 46,XY karyotype. The mutation was a T-to-G transition in exon 6 and changed the codon 807 from ATG (methionine) to AGG (arginine) in the hormone-binding domain of the protein. The mutation was inserted into the wild-type human AR cDNA and the resulting cDNA expressed in CV-1...
