Abstract excerpt
Premature stop codons of the human androgen receptor (AR) gene are usually associated with a complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. We, however, identified an adult patient with a 46,XY karyotype carrying a premature stop codon in exon 1 of the AR gene presenting with signs of partial viriliza...
