Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the androgen receptor (AR) gene and protein are associated with complete androgen insensitivity syndromes (CAIS) in individuals with XY genotypes causing them to develop as phenotypic females. Splice site mutations of the AR gene are very rare and in this report we describe the consequences of a novel G --> A mutation at the exon 7/intron 7 splice junction of the AR gene that resulted in CAIS in two...
