Abstract excerpt
In the coding part and the intron-exon boundaries of the androgen-receptor gene of a patient with partial androgen insensitivity, no mutation was found. The androgen receptor of this patient displayed normal ligand-binding parameters and migrated as a 110-112-kD doublet on SDS-PAGE in the absence of hormone. However, after culturing of the patient's genital skin fibroblasts in the presence of hormone, the...
